Latest action on H.R. 795: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who use, prescribe, dispense, or regulate abortion drugs. Patients could face changes in access if a drug approval no longer counts. Doctors and pharmacies could have to adjust how they provide these medications. HHS and the FDA would have less room to use this view of pregnancy in abortion drug decisions.

Why this matters: The bill matters because it could change access to abortion pills by canceling some FDA approvals. Mifepristone is named in the bill, so the effect could be direct and major. The bill also tells federal health agencies how they may describe pregnancy when regulating abortion drugs. Some effects are unclear because the bill does not spell out how the FDA should handle every practical step after an approval is canceled.

Key provisions in H.R. 795

• HHS and the FDA could not treat pregnancy as an illness when approving any abortion drug. This applies under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the main federal drug approval law.
• The same rule would apply to REMS, which are special FDA safety plans for drugs with serious risks. The FDA could not create or keep a REMS for an abortion drug based on treating pregnancy as an illness.
• Any abortion drug approval based fully or partly on treating pregnancy as an illness would be canceled by law.
• The canceled approvals would include the FDA approval for mifepristone that was in effect the day before this bill became law.
• The bill applies only to abortion drugs covered by section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. That ties the bill to the federal drug approval system.
