Bill overview
This bill expresses Congress’s view that medication abortion is a safe medical treatment and that federal law should take precedence over state laws that restrict its access. Specifically, it asserts that the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of medication abortion preempts state requirements mandating in-person dispensing or prohibiting telehealth prescriptions. The bill aims to protect access to medication abortion by limiting states’ ability to impose overly restrictive regulations.
