What this changes
Amends existing law
Law today: The bill does not spell out the prior law in the materials provided, but federal criminal law in Title 18, United States Code currently permits chemical abortion (medication abortion) under the framework established by FDA approval of mifepristone and related drugs.
If passed: This bill would amend federal criminal law to prohibit chemical abortion nationwide, making it a federal crime. Christian families who view abortion as ending a human life would see this as legal protection for unborn life; families seeking or facilitating chemical abortion would face federal criminal liability.
