What this bill would do

This legislation is known as the Forced Abortion Prevention and Accountability Act. It sets up federal penalties for anyone who knowingly and intentionally gives an abortion-inducing drug to a woman without her informed consent, provided the drug was shipped or transported in interstate commerce. The bill also establishes penalties for attempts and conspiracies to commit this offense. If the non-consensual drug administration results in serious bodily injury or death, the offender faces an additional term of imprisonment of not more than 25 years. Additionally, the legislation provides a civil remedy allowing affected women to sue for money damages, statutory damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
