What this bill would do
The "Linking Abortion-drug Batches for Enforcement and Liability Act," also known as the "LABEL Act," amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It requires abortion-inducing drugs to have labels that include the name and address of the dispenser and the name of the prescriber. Drugs without this information will be considered misbranded. The bill prevents states or their subdivisions from having labeling requirements that are less stringent than these federal rules. It defines abortion-inducing drugs as those used to kill an unborn child or terminate a pregnancy. However, it excludes drugs used to treat an ectopic pregnancy or remove a dead unborn child.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Increased Accountability: By requiring the name and address of the dispenser and the name of the prescriber on the label (Section 2(a)(6)(A)), there is a clear record of who provided and prescribed the drug.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Misbranding Risks: Under Section 2(a)(6)(A), any abortion-inducing drug that does not have the specific dispenser and prescriber information on the label is deemed to be misbranded.
