Overview
This bill would require the federal government to ensure women are informed of the risks associated with chemical abortion (pills used to terminate pregnancy). It amends federal health law to mandate risk disclosure.
Law Today
The Public Health Service Act currently does not require specific risk awareness protocols before a woman obtains a chemical abortion.
If Passed
The bill would require women seeking chemical abortion to receive information about the risks involved before proceeding. This would give parents and Christian families more assurance that women — including minors with parental involvement — would be informed of medical realities before using abortion-inducing drugs.

Likely support
- pro-life advocacy groups — Women deserve full informed consent about the risks of chemical abortion drugs, and such transparency supports the value of life.
- religious-liberty and parental-rights organizations — Risk disclosure ensures that parents can make informed decisions about their children's medical care and understand what their daughters are facing.
- medical-ethics advocates — Informed consent is a fundamental medical principle that should apply equally to all procedures, including chemical abortion.
Likely opposition
- abortion-rights advocacy organizations — Mandatory risk disclosure before chemical abortion is medically unnecessary burden that delays care and implies abortion is uniquely dangerous.
- civil-liberties groups — Targeted risk warnings for abortion — but not other medical procedures — may constitute content speech requirements that chill providers' practices.
