Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act of 2025
This bill requires physicians performing abortions to have hospital admitting privileges within 15 miles of the procedure location and to inform patients about nearby facilities for follow-up care if complications arise. It also sets conditions for abortion clinics receiving federal funds, mandating state licensing and compliance with outpatient surgery center standards (excluding certificate-of-need requirements). Violations by physicians could result in fines or up to two years in prison. The bill directly affects healthcare providers and clinics, not pregnant patients, and amends Title 18 of the U.S. Code to establish these requirements.
