What this bill would do

The "Ban Abortion by Mail Act" aims to stop the remote prescription of mifepristone and other abortion drugs. It requires REMS-certified providers to conduct an in-person visit with the patient. Additionally, providers must hold a medical license in the state where the patient lives. Providers who violate these rules will lose their REMS-certified status for at least two years. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must report annual losses of certification to Congress.
