Bill > HR5969

This bill, known as the LABEL Act (Linking Abortion-drug Batches for Enforcement and Liability Act), would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require abortion-inducing drugs to have labels that specifically identify the name and address of the dispenser and the name of the prescriber. The bill defines an "abortion-inducing drug" as a medication intended to terminate a pregnancy or kill an unborn child, but explicitly excludes drugs used to remove a dead unborn child or treat ectopic pregnancy. The legislation would prohibit states from implementing labeling requirements that are less strict than the federal standard. Additionally, the bill includes a severability clause, which means that if any part of the law is found unconstitutional, the remaining provisions would still remain in effect. The primary purpose of the bill appears to be increasing transparency and accountability in the dispensing of abortion-inducing medications by creating mandatory identification requirements for healthcare providers and dispensers.
