Forced Abortion Prevention and Accountability Act
This bill prohibits non-consensual administration of abortion-inducing drugs (like mifepristone or misoprostol) to pregnant women under federal law. It makes such acts a crime punishable by up to 25 years in prison, with enhanced penalties for serious injury or death, and creates civil remedies allowing victims to seek triple damages, compensation for physical/psychological harm, and attorney fees. The law specifically requires "informed consent" - meaning a woman must voluntarily agree after being fully informed about risks - before any abortion-inducing drug can be administered. It directly affects medical providers who violate consent rules and pregnant women subjected to non-consensual drug administration.
