Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025

This bill, called the Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025, would limit the use of telehealth for medication (chemical) abortions. A health care provider would have to examine the patient in person, be physically present when the pills are used, and set a follow-up visit. There is an exception only to save the life of the mother. Providers who break these rules could face a fine, up to two years in prison, or both. Patients themselves could not be charged.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Health care providers and patients seeking medication abortions.
• What changes: No telehealth-only medication abortions; in-person exam and provider presence required; follow-up must be scheduled; penalties for providers; patients not prosecuted.
• When: The provided summary does not specify an effective date.
