Plain-English Summary

This bill would make it a federal crime to coerce, intimidate, or force someone into having an abortion against their will, and would establish penalties for those who do so. It would also allow victims to sue those who forced them to have an abortion and seek damages. The law would apply to anyone—including family members, partners, or others—who uses threats or pressure to compel someone to end a pregnancy.
