Forced Abortion Prevention and Accountability Act

Summary

Creates a new federal crime and a private civil cause of action for knowingly and intentionally administering an abortion-inducing drug to a pregnant woman without her informed consent. The measure makes such conduct punishable by up to 25 years in prison, matches penalties for attempts and conspiracies, and authorizes an additional prison term (up to 25 years) where the nonconsensual administration causes serious bodily injury or death. It also permits the injured person to sue for compensatory, treble statutory (three times cost), and punitive damages, plus attorney's fees and costs; defines key terms (including “abortion-inducing drug,” explicitly naming mifepristone and misoprostol, and “informed consent”); and adds the new offense into Title 18 with related clerical updates.

• Makes knowingly and intentionally giving an abortion‑inducing drug without informed consent a federal crime.
• Sets prison up to 25 years for the offense, with the same penalty for attempts and conspiracies.
• Allows an additional prison term (up to 25 years) if serious bodily injury or death results.
• Creates a private civil cause of action with compensatory, treble (3x cost) and punitive damages plus attorney’s fees.
• Explicitly defines “abortion‑inducing drug” and names mifepristone and misoprostol.
• Defines “informed consent” and relies on existing federal definitions for “serious bodily injury” and “unborn child.”
• Applies to any person who knowingly administers the drug without consent, regardless of setting.
• Inserts the new offense into federal criminal code (Title 18) and updates codification tables.
