This bill prohibits deceptive advertising for reproductive health services.

The bill provides for enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission.
In addition to any other penalty, violations are subject to a civil penalty that may not exceed the greater of $100,000 (adjusted annually for inflation) or 50% of the revenue earned during the preceding 12-month period by the ultimate parent entity of the person who violated the bill.
