What this bill would do
The ``Second Chance for Moms Act of 2025'' aims to amend existing federal laws regarding mifepristone. It would require a specific warning label on mifepristone stating that its effects can be counteracted by natural progesterone to increase fetal survival. The bill also directs the Secretary to establish or maintain a 24/7 toll-free hotline for women seeking to reverse the effects of the drug. Under this bill, hotline referrals are limited exclusively to health care providers that offer abortion pill reversal services.
