Summary

Would state a Sense of Congress that medication abortion is a safe treatment that the Food and Drug Administration appropriately approved based on scientific evidence, and that this federal approval preempts state laws restricting how it may be dispensed. A sense-of-Congress provision records Congress's stated position and does not by itself change the law.
