Pregnancy Is Not an Illness Act of 2025
This bill prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from treating pregnancy as an illness when approving or regulating abortion drugs. It specifically bans using this framework for approvals under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or for risk management strategies. The bill also nullifies existing approvals of abortion drugs (like mifepristone) that relied on treating pregnancy as an illness. This directly affects how the FDA regulates abortion medications, changing the basis for their safety and efficacy evaluations.
