Ensuring Justice for Victims of Partial-Birth Abortion Act

This legislation directs the Attorney General to conduct a specific investigation into whether the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 was violated in connection with the remains of five babies discovered in Washington, D.C., in March 2022, with a report due to Congress within six months. It further amends existing law to require the Attorney General to investigate and take appropriate enforcement action for all alleged violations of the partial-birth abortion ban. Additionally, the bill mandates that any health care practitioner or employee with knowledge of such a violation must immediately report it to appropriate State or Federal law enforcement agencies. To ensure ongoing oversight, the Attorney General must submit an annual report to Congress detailing steps taken to inform abortion providers of their responsibilities, the number of alleged violations over the previous decade, and all related enforcement actions. Furthermore, the Comptroller General of the United States is tasked with conducting a review of enforcement actions taken between fiscal years 2004 and 2024, providing a report with recommendations for strengthening enforcement. A severability clause ensures that if any provision is deemed unconstitutional, the remainder of the Act remains in effect.
