New Rules for Chemical Abortion: Mandatory Risk Disclosure and Waiting Period.
This bill establishes mandatory procedures for federally funded providers performing chemical abortions. It requires the woman to receive and hear the full text of warnings and adverse reactions from the FDA-approved drug label at least 24 hours before the procedure. Non-compliance risks loss of federal funding and allows the woman or her parent to file a civil lawsuit against the provider for damages.
