A BILL To prohibit chemical abortions performed without the presence of a healthcare provider, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2021, prohibits healthcare providers from performing chemical abortions without physically examining the patient, being physically present during the procedure, and scheduling a follow-up visit within 14 days to assess the patient's condition. The bill amends Chapter 74 of Title 18 of the United States Code to create a new section 1532, which imposes a fine of up to $1,000 or imprisonment for up to 2 years for violations. The bill defines key terms like "abortion drug," "healthcare provider," and "chemical abortion." It also includes a rule of construction that the provisions do not apply to the treatment of ectopic pregnancies.
