instrument, a drug, a medicine, or any other substance, device, or
means with the intent to cause the death of an unborn child of a

a miscarriage, or
c. remove an ectopic pregnancy;
2. "Abortion-inducing drug" means a drug, a medicine, or any
other substance, including a regimen of two or more drugs,
medicines, or substances, prescribed, dispensed, or administered
with the intent of terminating a clinically diagnosable pregnancy of
a woman and with knowledge that the termination will, with
reasonable likelihood, cause the death of the woman's unborn child.
The term includes off-label use of drugs, medicines, or other
substances known to have abortion-inducing properties that are

means to prevent the fertilization of a human ovum;

organization that promotes childbirth and alternatives to abortion

information related to pregnancy, childbearing, adoption, and
