The Arkansas Chemical Abortions Ban Act aims to prohibit chemical abortions within the state. The bill introduces a new subchapter to the Arkansas Code, defining key terms such as "abortion," "fertilization," "medical emergency," and "unborn child." It establishes that an abortion is defined as the act of using any means to terminate a pregnancy with the knowledge that it will likely result in the death of the unborn child. However, exceptions are made for situations where the procedure is necessary to save the life or health of the unborn child, to remove a dead unborn child due to spontaneous abortion, or to address an ectopic pregnancy.

Under the new law, it will be unlawful to prescribe, dispense, distribute, sell, or use any drug for the purpose of procuring or performing an abortion. Violations of this prohibition will be classified as a Class D felony, although women who undergo such procedures will not face criminal prosecution. The bill also clarifies that it does not apply to contraceptive agents used before conception, the treatment of natural miscarriages, or necessary treatments in medical emergencies.
