H.R.846

SAD Act Stop Antiabortion Disinformation Act

Introduced·1/31/25

Stop Antiabortion Disinformation Act aims to prevent misleading advertising by antiabortion organizations.

The Stop Antiabortion Disinformation Act, or SAD Act, seeks to combat deceptive practices by crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) that mislead individuals seeking reproductive health care. CPCs often present themselves as comprehensive health care providers but do not offer abortion services or employ licensed medical personnel. The bill prohibits deceptive advertising and empowers the Federal Trade Commission to enforce this prohibition. Violations can result in civil penalties and other legal remedies.
