## Summary

**Ban on new approvals and strict federal controls for abortion drugs**. This bill would prohibit FDA approval of new abortion drugs and bar new investigational uses under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). It would also require existing abortion drugs to comply with a minimum risk evaluation and mitigation strategy and impose tight reporting and in-person dispensing rules. - Pregnant people and families: Limits how and when approved abortion drugs can be used by barring label changes to allow use after 70 days gestation and requiring in‑person administration by the prescribing clinician. - Health care practitioners: Forces prescribers to be certified, to be able to date pregnancies and diagnose ectopic pregnancies, to provide or arrange surgical care for incomplete abortion or severe bleeding, and to ensure access to transfusion and resuscitation facilities. - Manufacturers and regulators: Stops new approvals and rescinds investigational use exemptions after three years for prohibited studies. It also mandates a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) with manufacturer and prescriber reporting of deaths and adverse events and package serial number tracking.
