What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Clean Water for All Life Act," seeks to amend title 18 of the United States Code. It proposes to prohibit providing or attempting to provide an abortion through a chemical abortion drug without a healthcare provider being physically present. The bill establishes specific requirements, such as a physical examination of the patient and the provision of a catch kit and red bag medical waste. Violations of these provisions could result in up to five years in prison and fines of up to $50,000 per occurrence. It also provides specific definitions for terms like "abortion," "chemical abortion drug," and "unborn child."
