These measures effectively shield those involved in chemical abortions from legal responsibility, undermining both patient safety and the rule of law.\n\n\u201cAbortion drugs end the life of a child, but can also cause injury or death to the women using them. This legislation is about transparency, accountability, and protecting women and children,\u201d said Rep. Moore. \u201cIf a doctor or pharmacy dispenses abortion drugs that cause harm to the patient, her family deserves to know who was responsible. No one in the medical community should be allowed to hide behind anonymous prescriptions.\u201d\n\nThe LABEL Act would:\n\nDeem abortion drugs \u2018misbranded\u2019 unless their label clearly identifies both the name and address of the dispenser and the name of the prescriber.\n\nPreempt conflicting state laws, ensuring that all abortion-inducing drugs are held to the same national safety and labeling standards.\n\nAuthorize the FDA, in coordination with the Department of Justice, to enforce existing penalties for violations of federal labeling requirements.\n\nChemical abortions now make up more than half of all abortions in the United States. The LABEL Act is not only a pro-life measure, but also a public safety bill designed to protect women from negligence and abuse.\n\nThis legislation is cosponsored by Reps. Harriet Hagemen (WY-At Large), Mary Miller (IL-15), John McGuire (VA-5), Andy Harris (MD-01), Gary Palmer (AL-06), Andrew Clyde (GA-09), and August Pfluger (TX-11).\n\nStudents for Life Action has endorsed this legislation.", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-barry-moore-introduces-label-act-hold-abortion-drug-dispensers-accountable"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9463538192212582, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
