H.R. 1322 · 115th Congress

Women's Health Protection Act of 2017

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

  • a requirement that the same clinician who performs a patient's abortion also perform additional tests, services or procedures;
  • a limitation on an abortion provider's ability to prescribe or dispense drugs or provide services via telemedicine;
  • a requirement or limitation concerning the physical plant, equipment, staffing, or hospital transfer arrangements of facilities where abortions are performed, or the credentials, hospital privileges, or status of personnel at those facilities;
  • a requirement that, prior to obtaining an abortion, a patient make medically unnecessary in-person visits to any individual or entity;
  • a limitation on medical training for abortion procedures;
  • a prohibition prior to fetal viability, including a prohibition on a particular abortion procedure;
  • a prohibition after fetal viability when continuation of the pregnancy would pose a risk to the woman's life or health;
  • a restriction on a woman's ability to obtain an immediate abortion when a delay would pose a risk to the woman's health; or
  • a restriction on obtaining an abortion prior to fetal viability based on a woman's reasons or perceived reasons or that requires her to state her reasons before obtaining an abortion.
A measure or action that is similar to a requirement or limitation listed above is prohibited if it singles out abortion services or makes abortion services more difficult to access and does not significantly advance women's health or the safety of abortion services.
