Bill overview
The Stop Antiabortion Disinformation Act (SAD Act) aims to prevent misleading advertising related to reproductive health services. Specifically, it prohibits deceptive claims by businesses about offering contraception, abortion services, or access to licensed medical professionals. The bill empowers the Federal Trade Commission to enforce these rules and impose penalties on organizations found to be engaging in deceptive practices, particularly targeting crisis pregnancy centers known for spreading misinformation. This legislation seeks to ensure accurate information is available to individuals seeking reproductive healthcare, especially in light of recent restrictions on abortion access.
