Contact Congress about H.R. 6466: Forced Abortion Prevention and Accountability Act

Latest action on H.R. 6466: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects pregnant women who are given abortion drugs without informed consent. It also affects people who administer, sell, ship, mail, or provide those drugs in situations covered by the bill. Pharmacies, telehealth providers, and others who help supply abortion drugs could face questions about what checks they must make before providing them.

Why this matters: The bill would give federal prosecutors and courts a specific tool for cases involving abortion drugs given without consent. It could change how cases involving drugs like mifepristone or misoprostol are handled when the drugs crossed state or national lines. It could also make lawsuits more likely by letting women seek large damages and attorney's fees. The biggest uncertainty is how courts would apply the bill's rule for sales and shipments without reasonable verification.

Key provisions in H.R. 6466

  • The bill creates a new federal crime. It would be illegal to knowingly and intentionally give abortion drugs to a pregnant woman without her informed consent when the act involves interstate or foreign commerce.
  • A person convicted of the basic crime could face up to 25 years in prison. The court could also impose fines.
  • The bill adds a second possible prison term if the woman is badly hurt or dies. That extra term could be up to 25 years.
  • Attempts and conspiracies would count too. They would carry the same penalties as a completed offense.
  • The bill gives a special meaning to conspiracy. It can include selling, shipping, mailing, or giving abortion drugs without reasonable steps to check that the requester is a pregnant woman seeking an abortion.
