The Abortion Care Awareness Act would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a national public health campaign to educate Americans about accessing abortion and related health services. The campaign would provide information on where to obtain abortion care (including medication abortion), the legality of abortion services, travel rights across state lines, and how to distinguish legitimate abortion providers from crisis pregnancy centers. The bill specifically targets underserved communities including communities of color, immigrants, people with disabilities, rural populations, and LGBTQI+ individuals to ensure the information reaches those who may face barriers to care. The legislation prohibits the campaign from promoting misinformation about abortion safety or spreading false claims about "abortion reversal" and requires consultation with medical professionals and reproductive rights organizations. No specific funding amount or timeline is included in the bill text provided.
