Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act of 2025

This bill, known as the "Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act of 2025," establishes new federal requirements for physicians performing abortions and for abortion clinics. It amends federal law to mandate that any physician performing an abortion must possess admitting privileges at a hospital located within 15 miles of both their principal office and the abortion facility. Furthermore, physicians must inform patients of the specific hospital where they can receive follow-up care for any complications arising from the procedure. Failure to comply with these physician requirements constitutes an unlawful offense, punishable by fines, imprisonment for up to two years, or both, though the woman undergoing the procedure cannot be prosecuted. Additionally, the bill stipulates that to receive any federal funds or assistance, an abortion clinic must be licensed by its State and adhere to the requirements for ambulatory surgery centers under the Social Security Act, with a provision for State boards of health to waive certain structural requirements.
