Impact Analysis

Scores: 1 = low, 5 = highSentiment: -5 to +5 (net benefit)

Key Points

  • This bill would stop the FDA from approving any new drugs used for abortions and would end ongoing medical research into new abortion medications after three years.
  • For drugs already on the market, the bill bans mail-order delivery and pharmacy pickups, requiring patients to get the medicine in person from a doctor at a clinic, medical office, or hospital.
  • Doctors who prescribe these drugs would need special certification and must be able to perform surgery or provide blood transfusions if a patient has a serious medical emergency.
  • The policy limits the use of these drugs to the first 70 days of pregnancy and prevents the government from ever extending that time limit or loosening the rules for how they are given to patients.
  • Manufacturers and healthcare providers would be required to report all serious complications, hospitalizations, and deaths related to the drugs to the FDA to monitor safety.
