Bill > HR729

This bill, known as the "Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025," aims to regulate chemical abortions by requiring a healthcare provider (defined as a person licensed to prescribe prescription drugs) to be physically present during the procedure. The bill would make it illegal for a healthcare provider to provide or attempt to provide a chemical abortion without: (1) physically examining the patient, (2) being physically present at the location of the abortion, and (3) scheduling a follow-up visit within 14 days to assess the patient's condition. Violations could result in fines up to $1,000, imprisonment up to 2 years, or both. The bill explicitly protects patients from prosecution and includes exceptions for cases where the abortion is necessary to save the mother's life due to a physical condition. It provides detailed definitions for terms like "abortion drug" and "unborn child" (defined as an organism from fertilization until live birth), and clarifies that the law does not impact treatment for ectopic pregnancies. The legislation also includes a severability clause, meaning that if any part of the law is found invalid, the rest of the law can still be applied.
