Plain Language Summary

# Ultrasounds Save Lives Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require abortion providers to perform an ultrasound before performing an abortion procedure and to provide the pregnant person with the opportunity to view the ultrasound images. The legislation also appears to create civil liability provisions, meaning it could allow individuals to take legal action against abortion providers who fail to comply with these ultrasound requirements. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect abortion providers and pregnant individuals seeking abortion services. It could also impact healthcare coverage policies and potentially involve legal costs for those involved in related lawsuits. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee (as of the information provided), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.

The bill was sponsored by Rep. Mary E. Miller (R-IL-15) in the 119th Congress. *Note: The full text would need to be reviewed for complete details on specific provisions, definitions of what constitutes compliance, and exact liability provisions.*.
