## Summary

**Creates federal crimes and civil remedies for knowingly administering an abortion-inducing drug to a pregnant woman without her informed consent.** - Women and patients can sue the person who administered or attempted to administer the drug and seek objectively verifiable money damages for physical and psychological injuries plus statutory damages equal to three times the cost of all injuries. Courts must award reasonable attorney’s fees to a prevailing plaintiff. - Health professionals and others who knowingly give or prescribe an abortion-inducing drug face criminal penalties including a fine and up to 25 years in prison. Attempts and conspiracies carry the same penalties and the definition explicitly names drugs like mifepristone and misoprostol. - People who sell, ship, mail, or give an abortion-inducing drug without taking reasonable steps to ensure the recipient is a pregnant woman seeking an abortion can be treated as conspirators. If the non-consensual administration causes serious bodily injury or death the bill allows additional fines and up to 25 years of imprisonment.
