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.
