Legislation Details

  • Condemns the Biden administration’s pro-abortion policies.
  • Defines “induced abortion” and specifies exclusions such as procedures for intrauterine fetal death, spontaneous miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, fetal remains, and procedures necessary to preserve the life of a pregnant woman or girl.
  • Describes the process of chemically induced abortion in the U.S. using mifepristone and misoprostol.
  • Criticizes the initial approval process of mifepristone by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, including claims of exceeding statutory authority and jeopardizing women’s and girls’ health and safety.
  • Highlights the lack of required studies on the drug’s effects on minors and under labeled conditions of use.
  • Lists complications from mifepristone, including life-threatening hemorrhaging, infection, incomplete abortions requiring emergency surgery, and mental health issues.
  • Notes that about 1 in 25 women end up in the emergency room after taking mifepristone.
  • Discusses the risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) issued for mifepristone, including initial safety requirements and subsequent relaxations of those requirements.
  • Points out the removal of requirements for prescribers to report non-lethal adverse events and all serious complications, leading to incomplete data collection.
  • Estimates that up to 95 percent of serious adverse events may be unreported.
  • Condemns the removal of in-person office visit requirements, allowing for mail and online distribution of mifepristone, which is seen as increasing health risks for women and girls.
  • Raises concerns about the lack of age limits and parental consent requirements for prescribing mifepristone, the inability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies without in-person visits, and the potential for coercion and misuse by domestic abusers and sex traffickers.
  • Concludes with a condemnation of the Biden administration for endangering women’s and girls’ health and enabling reproductive coercion, prioritizing abortion businesses over health and safety.
