HR 895 United States House · 119th Congress

Ensuring Justice for Victims of Partial-Birth Abortion Act

HR 895 requires the Attorney General to investigate whether the 2022 discovery of five baby remains in Washington, DC, violated the existing Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, with a report due within six months. It mandates that healthcare workers must immediately report suspected violations of the ban to law enforcement and requires annual reports from the Attorney General detailing enforcement efforts, violations, and prosecutions over the past decade. The bill also directs the GAO to review enforcement actions from 2004-2024 and submit recommendations. This legislation focuses on strengthening enforcement of the existing 2003 ban, directly affecting healthcare providers, law enforcement, and the Department of Justice.
