What this bill would do

The "Stop Antiabortion Disinformation Act" or "SAD Act" aims to prohibit deceptive advertising regarding reproductive health services. It specifically targets advertising that misrepresents whether a person offers or provides contraception, abortion services, or referrals. The bill also prohibits misrepresenting the employment of licensed medical personnel. Enforcement of these rules would be handled by the Federal Trade Commission. This includes the power to bring civil actions and seek various remedies.
