This bill enacts the "Unborn Child Protection Act of 2025, which prohibits a person or entity from mailing or delivering an abortion-inducing drug into this state. This bill defines an ""abortion-inducing drug"" as a drug or medication that is intended to be used, and is used, to terminate the life of an unborn child, which includes mifepristone, misoprostol, and mifeprex (RU-486) when possessed or distributed to terminate the life of an unborn child. It does not include a drug or medication that is possessed or distr i buted for a purpose that does not include the termination of the life of an unborn child, such as misoprostol that is used for treating a stomach ulcer. This bill provides that if a person or entity mails or delivers an abortion-inducing drug into this s tate and the mailing or delivery results in the death of an unborn child, then the person or entity is strictly liable in the amount of $5 million in damages for the death of the unborn child. Any action brought to recover such damages must proceed under civil procedure law for an injury resulting in death and an action must be commenced within five years of the death of the unborn child."
