The Heartbeat Protection Act of 2023 is a federal bill aimed at restricting abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, usually around six weeks into pregnancy. The main provision of the bill prohibits healthcare providers from performing abortions after this point unless there are medical emergencies. This legislation could significantly limit access to abortion services and has sparked debates on reproductive rights and the legality of such restrictions.
