HR 1964 (aka the "Freedom of Choice Act") is intended to protect the woman's right to privacy as decided by Roe v. Wade, which includes her right to safe and legal abortions.

"Partial-birth abortion" is not a medical term; it is an overly emotive misnomer for an extremely rare abortion procedure.

This bill includes an attempt to safeguard a woman's right "to terminate a pregnancy after fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman." The protection of a woman's health was not included in the recent ban on late-term abortions, and so this bill is necessary to support the health of women.
