New abortion drugs would be banned, and existing ones would face strict new rules.
This bill would stop the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from approving any new abortion drugs. It would also add many strict new rules for abortion drugs already on the market, changing how they can be prescribed and dispensed.
Today, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can approve new abortion drugs and allow them to be tested. Existing abortion drugs are regulated, but can be prescribed and dispensed under current rules, which may include telemedicine options or dispensing through pharmacies. If this bill passes, the FDA would be banned from approving new abortion drugs or new tests. Existing abortion drugs would face much stricter rules, including mandatory in-person dispensing by the prescribing doctor in a clinic, medical office, or hospital, and could not be used after 70 days of pregnancy.
