Clean Water for All Life Act
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit a chemical abortion without the physical presence of a healthcare provider.
This bill, HB7983, proposes to change federal law to require a healthcare provider to be physically present during a chemical abortion. A chemical abortion involves taking medication to end an early pregnancy. The bill's goal is to ensure medical supervision during this procedure.
The bill would affect women who choose chemical abortion and healthcare providers who perform or administer these procedures. It aims to increase safety and oversight by ensuring that a healthcare provider is on-site during the process.
HB7983 was introduced on March 18, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This means it is now being reviewed by a committee of House members who will consider its details, impact, and potential changes before deciding whether to move it forward for a vote.
