Representative Harshbarger Introduces House Bill to Ban Mifepristone and Allow Lawsuits Against Manufacturers
Representative Diana Harshbarger introduced a new bill in the House of Representatives to ban the abortion pill mifepristone nationwide. The Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act would cancel the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the drug for ending a pregnancy. This change would take effect 14 days after the law is signed. This House bill matches a similar effort recently introduced in the Senate. Like the Senate version, H.R. 7902 would make it illegal to sell or ship mifepristone for abortions. It also allows individuals to file lawsuits against the companies that manufacture the drug.
