Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act
This bill, titled the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act, aims to revoke federal approval for the drug mifepristone (also known as RU-486) for use in terminating pregnancies. If enacted, the Food and Drug Administration's approval for mifepristone for this indication would be withdrawn within 14 days, making its introduction into interstate commerce for pregnancy termination a violation of federal law. Additionally, the bill establishes a new federal right for individuals to sue manufacturers of mifepristone if they experience bodily injury or harm to mental health attributed to its use for pregnancy termination. This legislation directly affects drug manufacturers, distributors, healthcare providers, and individuals seeking or having used medication abortion.
