S. 4880 — Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act of 2026

This section prohibits any physician from knowingly performing a dismemberment abortion that kills an unborn child, except when necessary to save the life of the mother endangered by a physical disorder, illness, or injury. It defines a dismemberment abortion as the use of clamps, forceps, scissors, or similar instruments to dismember an unborn child one piece at a time or intact but crushed, and it establishes civil remedies for the woman or a parent of a minor, including objectively verifiable money damages, statutory damages equal to three times the cost of the abortion, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees, while barring prosecution of the woman.
