What this bill would do

The Support And Value Expectant Moms and Babies Act of 2025 aims to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It prohibits the approval of new abortion drugs and denies investigational use exemptions for abortion drugs or investigations that destroy an unborn child. For drugs already approved, the bill prevents labeling changes to allow use after 70 days gestation or for dispensing by methods other than in-person administration by a practitioner. It also mandates a specific risk evaluation and mitigation strategy for previously approved abortion drugs. This strategy includes strict certification requirements for healthcare practitioners and limits dispensing to specific medical settings.
