What this bill would do

The Second Chance at Life Act of 2025 requires abortion providers to inform women that it may be possible to reverse the effects of a chemical abortion if they change their minds. It mandates specific notifications by physicians at least 24 hours before the procedure and written instructions after the first drug is dispensed. Facilities must post signs informing patients about the possibility of reversal. The Department of Health and Human Services must also provide related information via a website and printed materials. The bill allows certain individuals to sue providers for damages if these requirements are not met. There is an exception for medical emergencies where the woman's life is in danger.
