Chemical Abortion Risk Awareness Act ensures women are informed of risks before chemical abortion.
The Chemical Abortion Risk Awareness Act amends the Public Health Service Act to mandate that chemical abortion providers inform women of the risks involved. Providers must provide a full FDA-approved product label, read the highlighted sections to the woman, and obtain written confirmation. The act allows for a private right of action for women or their parents if an abortion is performed in violation of these requirements, seeking damages and attorney's fees. The act also allows the Secretary to withhold federal funding from non-compliant providers.
