Ending Chemical Abortions Act of 2025

Protection from criminal prosecution for women: Under Section 4(b)(c), a woman upon whom a chemical abortion is performed or attempted may not be criminally prosecuted.

Medical exceptions for life-threatening conditions: Section 4(b)(2) allows for exceptions when a woman suffers from a physical disorder, injury, or illness, including life-endangering conditions caused by pregnancy, provided a physician certifies the danger of death.

Treatment of miscarriages: Section 4(b)(1) allows for the treatment of a miscarriage according to accepted medical guidelines.

Continued access to contraception: Section 4(b)(0) ensures that the sale, use, prescription, or administration of contraceptive agents administered before conception or before pregnancy is confirmed is not prohibited.

Criminal penalties for providers: Section 4(a) states that whoever prescribes, dispenses, distributes, or sells any drug or medication for the purpose of performing an abortion shall be imprisoned for not more than 25 years and/or fined.

Restrictions on medical procedures: The bill defines "abortion" in Section 4(d)(1) to include any intentional termination of pregnancy not intended to produce a live birth, remove a dead unborn child from a miscarriage, or treat an ectopic or molar pregnancy, which subjects those specific purposes to the new prohibitions.
