Ending Chemical Abortions Act of 2025

This bill, titled the "Ending Chemical Abortions Act of 2025," aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code by establishing a federal prohibition on chemical abortions. It would make it a criminal offense for any individual to prescribe, dispense, distribute, or sell any drug, medication, or chemical intended for the purpose of procuring or performing an abortion, with penalties up to 25 years imprisonment or a fine. Crucially, the bill specifies that a woman upon whom a chemical abortion is performed or attempted may not be criminally prosecuted under this section. The legislation includes specific exceptions for the use of contraceptive agents administered before conception or confirmed pregnancy, the treatment of a miscarriage , and when a physician certifies a woman's life is in danger due to a physical condition arising from the pregnancy. The bill also provides definitions, clarifying "abortion" as intentionally terminating a pregnancy (excluding live birth, removing a dead unborn child, or treating ectopic/molar pregnancies). It defines "unborn child" as an individual organism from fertilization until born alive, and "pregnancy" as having a living unborn child from fertilization to childbirth.
