Florida Bill Would Stop Abortion Pills, Save Babies From Abortions

Florida lawmakers have introduced pro-life legislation aimed at curbing the distribution and trafficking of chemical abortion pills, measures supporters say would protect women from harm and save unborn babies from abortion.

The bills, titled the “Anti-Chemical Abortion Pill Trafficking Act,” are SB 1374 in the Senate and HB 633 in the House.

They were inspired by efforts from Students for Life Action and have been referred to committee for review. If enacted, the legislation would impose civil penalties on vendors who prescribe and ship chemical abortion pills (such as mifepristone and misoprostol) into or within Florida.

Key provisions include allowing fathers of unborn children and certain family members to file lawsuits against abortion pill vendors, with potential damages up to $100,000.

Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins praised the bills, stating, “For the second time, Students for Life Action is working to pass legislation vital for protecting babies in the womb as well as their mothers, as a new abortion drug cartel makes a profit from tragedy.”

Hawkins added, “Real innovation in the states means lives will be saved. This bill puts a high cost on those predators who profit from death by abortion and then abandon women to whatever happens next.”

The measures target the growing use of telehealth and mail-order services for abortion pills, which pro-life advocates describe as unregulated and dangerous to women while ending the lives of unborn children.

The push comes amid significant declines in abortions in Florida thanks to the state’s heartbeat law. According to data from the state’s Agency for Healthcare Administration, abortions fell 45% over the last five years, from 79,812 in 2021 to 44,206 by the close of 2025.

During the same period, the number of abortion centers dropped 16%, from 57 to 48.

Sarah Neely, Chief Operating Officer of Operation Rescue, said, “In that same time period — the last five years — abortions in Florida have decreased by forty-five percent.”

Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, attributed the reduction to clinic closures, noting, “With the permanent closure of just nine clinics, the state of Florida saw a 45% reduction in the number of babies killed. … more lives are saved every time a clinic closes its door for good.”

Newman added, “We look forward to seeing even more abortion clinics closed in the state of Florida this year, which will always mean more lives saved.”

Supporters of the new bills argue they build on Florida’s existing protections for life, further reducing abortions by addressing chemical abortion methods that often bypass in-person medical oversight. The legislation reflects ongoing efforts to enforce strict regulations on abortion following the state’s six-week limit and the broader post-Roe environment.
