Overview

What this changes
Amends existing law
Law today: The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act currently permits the FDA to approve new drugs, including abortion medications, and to grant investigational use exemptions for unapproved drugs in certain circumstances. Mifepristone (RU-486) and related abortion drugs were approved under this framework.
If passed: This bill would prevent the FDA from approving any new abortion drugs in the future, ban investigational use exemptions (which allow limited testing or use of unapproved drugs) for abortion drugs, and add new regulatory restrictions on abortion drugs already on the market. For Christian families, this would mean abortion drugs would become harder to obtain and distribute, reinforcing legal and regulatory barriers to medication abortion.

Likely opposition
- Medical and reproductive-health organizations — Restrictions on FDA approval and investigational pathways undermine evidence-based medicine and limit doctors' ability to provide safe, legal medical care.
- Civil-liberties and reproductive-rights groups — The bill infringes on women's constitutional and medical autonomy by removing access to a safe, effective medication.
