What this changes
Amends existing law
Law today: The bill does not spell out the prior law.
If passed: This bill would amend federal criminal law to require a healthcare provider to be physically present when a chemical abortion (typically using medication like mifepristone and misoprostol) is administered. Currently, some states and the FDA permit remote administration of these drugs; this law would impose a federal restriction prohibiting that practice.

- pro-life groups and religious-liberty advocates — Requiring a healthcare provider's physical presence adds safety oversight and reflects the view that direct medical supervision protects both mother and developing life.
Likely opposition
- medical associations and reproductive-healthcare providers — Physical presence requirements limit access, increase cost, and contradict evidence that medication abortion is safe when managed according to clinical protocols.
- civil-liberties and women's-rights organizations — Federal restrictions on abortion methods reduce women's autonomy and access, particularly for those in rural or underserved areas.
