Forced Abortion Prevention and Accountability Act

This bill, known as the "Forced Abortion Prevention and Accountability Act," establishes new federal criminal penalties for the non-consensual administration of abortion-inducing drugs. It amends Title 18 of the U.S. Code to prohibit knowingly and intentionally administering such drugs to a pregnant woman without her informed consent , particularly when the drug has moved in interstate commerce. Violators could face substantial fines and imprisonment for up to 25 years, with an additional term if serious bodily injury or death results. Attempts and conspiracies to commit this offense are also criminalized, including selling or distributing these drugs without verifying the recipient's intent. The legislation further creates a civil remedy , allowing victims to pursue legal action for various damages, including objective, statutory, and punitive. It defines "abortion-inducing drug" to include mifepristone and misoprostol, and "informed consent" as a voluntary, knowing agreement after full disclosure of risks and consequences.
