Second Chance at Life Act of 2025

This bill would require abortion providers, at least 24 hours before a medication abortion using mifepristone and then misoprostol, to tell the woman that it may be possible to reverse the effects of mifepristone if she changes her mind. After the first drug is given, the physician would have to provide written discharge instructions with a set statement about possible reversal. Facilities that perform these abortions would have to post signs with similar wording, and the Department of Health and Human Services would have to create a website and printed materials on reversal. The requirements would not apply in certified medical emergencies, and the woman, the father, or in some cases her parents could sue providers who knowingly or recklessly violate the rules.
