     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2021&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill restricts the use of telehealth for chemical abortions (also known as medication abortions). &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, it requires a provider who dispenses or prescribes medication for a chemical abortion to physically examine the patient, be physically present at the location of the chemical abortion, and schedule a follow-up visit. The bill provides an exception for a chemical abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, injury, or condition. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill establishes criminal penalties&amp;#8212;a fine, a prison term of up to two years, or both&amp;#8212;for a provider who does not comply with the requirements.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A patient who undergoes a chemical abortion may not be prosecuted. &lt;/p&gt;
