## Summary

**Tightens federal control over abortion drugs.** This bill would bar new FDA approvals and create strict limits on labeling, dispensing, practitioner certification, and safety reporting for medical abortion drugs. - Pregnant people would face a 70 day gestation cap for labeled use and must receive the drug in person from the prescribing clinician. Prescribers must give written risk information and secure the patient's acknowledgment. - Prescribing clinicians would need certification to assess gestational duration, diagnose ectopic pregnancies, provide surgical care for incomplete abortion or severe bleeding, and ensure access to facilities that can give blood transfusions and resuscitation. Clinicians could not dispense these drugs in the role of a pharmacist. - The FDA would be barred from approving new marketing applications under sections 505(b) and 505(j) for abortion drugs and from granting investigational exemptions under 505(i). Manufacturers and prescribers must report all known adverse events to the FDA and to manufacturers without including identifiable patient information.
