AI Summary
This bill, the Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2021, prohibits healthcare providers from performing chemical abortions (the use of abortion drugs) without physically examining the patient, being physically present during the abortion, and scheduling a follow-up visit within 14 days. The bill makes it a federal crime, punishable by a fine or imprisonment, for healthcare providers to violate these requirements. However, the bill does not apply to abortions necessary to save the life of the mother. The bill also clarifies that patients cannot be prosecuted for violations.
