The bill amends Tennessee law to prohibit mailing or delivering abortion-inducing drugs into the state and establishes liability for resulting deaths.
The Unborn Child Protection Act of 2025 amends Tennessee law to prohibit the mailing or delivery of abortion-inducing drugs into the state. It defines "abortion-inducing drug" as a medication intended to terminate the life of an unborn child, including mifepristone, misoprostol, and mifeprex (RU-486) when used for that purpose. The act also establishes strict liability for five million dollars in damages if the mailing or delivery of such drugs results in the death of an unborn child. Legal actions to recover these damages must be initiated within five years of the death.
