Clean Water for All Life Act

This bill would add a new federal crime to the U.S. criminal code for providing an abortion using abortion drugs, such as mifepristone or misoprostol, without the provider physically examining the patient, being physically present where the abortion takes place, and giving the patient a catch kit and red medical waste bag with instructions to return them to the provider for disposal. Violations could bring up to 5 years in prison, a fine of up to $50,000, or both, for each occurrence. The bill defines abortion so that it does not include acts meant to save the life or health of the unborn child, remove a dead unborn child after a miscarriage, or remove an ectopic pregnancy. It also renames the chapter of federal law that covers partial-birth abortions to "Abortion Crimes."
