Prevention of forced participation: The law prevents entities from being forced to perform abortions, distribute abortion-inducing drugs, or refer people for abortions (Section 3(b)(1-3)).

Coverage of legal costs: A prevailing plaintiff in a civil action can be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation costs (Section 4(e)(2)).

Civil liability for entities: Any individual or entity receiving Federal financial assistance, including State governmental entities, can be sued in a civil action for a "designated violation" (Section 4(b)(1) and 4(d)(1)).

Financial burden of damages: Governmental entities may be required to pay money damages as part of a court-ordered relief resulting from a violation (Section 4(d)(1)).
