AI Summary
This bill, the Ending Chemical Abortions Act of 2023, aims to prohibit the prescription, dispensation, distribution, or sale of any drug, medication, or chemical for the purpose of performing an abortion, with some exceptions. The bill renames Chapter 74 of Title 18 of the United States Code to "Abortion Crimes" and adds a new section 1532 that criminalizes "chemical abortions" with a penalty of up to 25 years in prison. The exceptions include the use of contraceptives before pregnancy confirmation, treatment of a miscarriage, and cases where the woman's life is endangered by the pregnancy. The bill also establishes that a woman cannot be criminally prosecuted for undergoing a chemical abortion.
