## Summary

**Removes federal approval for mifepristone's use to end intrauterine pregnancy.** The bill also creates a federal private right of action allowing people to sue manufacturers for bodily or mental harms tied to the drug. - Women and patients: Withdraws the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act approvals that allow mifepristone to be marketed for terminating intrauterine pregnancy. Introducing or delivering the drug into interstate commerce for that use would be a violation and labeling that advertises termination use would be treated as misbranding. - Manufacturers and drug makers: Imposes federal liability on entities that make the covered medication for bodily injury or mental-health harm. Individuals can seek compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees and costs. - Courts and states: Creates a federal tort while preserving state remedies by stating this law does not preempt state claims. The liability provision becomes effective 90 days after enactment.
