To express the Sense of Congress with respect to safety of medication abortion and Federal preemption of State restrictions on dispensing medication abortion, and for other purposes.

This bill states the Sense of Congress, which is a formal statement of opinion and does not itself create new legal requirements. It states that medication abortion is a safe medical treatment that the Food and Drug Administration approved based on scientific evidence. It also states that this federal approval overrides (preempts) any state law that requires medication abortion to be dispensed in person by a health care practitioner. It further states that federal approval overrides state laws that ban or limit prescribing or dispensing medication abortion through telehealth.
