## Summary

**Withdraw federal approval for mifepristone used to terminate intrauterine pregnancy**. The bill would also create a federal private right of action so people harmed by that drug can sue manufacturers. - Women and families: Would limit the legal use and interstate availability of mifepristone for termination of intrauterine pregnancy by deeming those approvals withdrawn 14 days after enactment and treating introduction into interstate commerce as unlawful. - Manufacturers: Would expose makers of the approved mifepristone to federal liability for bodily injury or mental harm linked to the drug and allow suits for compensatory and punitive damages and attorney fees in federal or state court, with the remedy effective 90 days after enactment. - Labeling and market rules: Would deem mifepristone misbranded if labeling says it may be used for termination of intrauterine pregnancy or with another drug for that purpose, and would bar interstate commerce of products whose approval has been withdrawn.

## Provisions PRIA read

- New right to sue mifepristone makers: benefit, low. If enacted, this bill would create a federal private right of action for individuals who suffer bodily injury or mental-health harm tied to use of mifepristone approved for ending intrauterine pregnancy. A person harmed could sue the manufacturer in federal or state court for compensatory and punit…
- Remove federal approval for mifepristone: cost, high. If enacted, this bill would treat FDA approvals for mifepristone (Mifeprex, RU-486) for ending intrauterine pregnancy as withdrawn 14 days after enactment. It would also treat selling or shipping such withdrawn products across state lines as a violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.…
