The Women's Health Protection Act proposed by Senator Blumenthal overrides all state laws to enshrine unrestricted abortion access across the nation prior to viability, and generously post viability. Please contact your senator.
It begins with the lie that women's reproductive systems prohibit us from fully participating in economic & social life. Rather than accommodate our biology in these spaces, their "solution" is to expect us to sacrifice our children to bring our biology more in line with men's. 
We expect men to utilize reproductive self-control PRIOR to reproducing & hold men legally accountable for any children they create as a result of their choices.
Why do we expect LESS of women? Our reproductive systems don't render us less capable of choosing when to reproduce.

It continues with the lie that elective abortion is a constitutional right. Its currently a SCOTUS interpretation many feel was decided in error.
It goes on to list a litany of politicized pro-choice talking points as facts. Implying routine "blockades of healthcare facilities" & "associated violence", implications that medical regulations are designed for the sole purpose of denying abortion access, etc.
This is despite clear evidence of health and safety violations at abortion clinics.

As for the actual impact - abortion would be legal across the nation without restriction pre-viability (~22-24 wks). ANY reason is acceptable - even sex selective abortions.
Partial birth abortion returns as an acceptable procedure. In this the child is partially delivered in the breach position. Then the child is stabbed in the base of her skull to allow her brains to vacuumed out. This allows for compression of her skull for easier removal.
Post viability (~22/24 wks until birth) abortion would be permissible if her health care provider (singular) agreed a pregnancy would threaten her "health". In this context SCOTUS defines "health" to include anything in Doe vs Bolton.
As an example, this woman aborted a healthy child in a healthy pregnancy at 28 weeks (7 months, 3rd trimester). This situation meets SCOTUS's definition of "health".
Please review these common abortion methods, and juxtapose that with what we know about fetal pain... and what we don't yet know.

It was commonly accepted until the 1980's that babies didn't feel pain, because they couldn't express it in the way older humans did.

The bill also legalizes abortion via telemedicine. This eliminates the ability to check for an ectopic pregnancy, check for a pregnancy of multiples or accurately date the pregnancy.
