S. 2955 – Forced Abortion Prevention and Accountability Act
This bill establishes federal criminal penalties for knowingly and intentionally administering abortion-inducing drugs without informed consent, and ensures stronger consequences when such abuse results in serious bodily injury. It also addresses attempts, conspiracies, and irresponsible distribution practices by requiring reasonable measures to confirm that these drugs are being obtained by women who are knowingly and willingly seeking them. No woman should ever be deceived, manipulated, or forced into ending a pregnancy.

Term of the Week: Enumerated Powers
Enumerated powers are the specific responsibilities the Constitution gives to the federal government, specifically to Congress. These powers are listed in Article I, Section 8: collecting taxes, regulating trade between states and other nations, coining money, declaring war, creating federal courts below the Supreme Court, supporting the military, and more. Because these powers are written explicitly into the Constitution, they form the core of Congress’s lawful authority.
However, a long‑running constitutional debate centers on how strictly the federal government’s enumerated powers should be interpreted. Some argue for a narrow reading, insisting that the federal government may exercise only the powers explicitly listed in the Constitution, with everything else reserved to the states. This view emphasizes limited federal authority. Others support a broader interpretation. For instance, the Necessary and Proper Clause allows Congress to take actions reasonably related to its listed powers. Under the broader interpretation, the enumerated powers form a foundation that can support additional implied powers when needed to carry out national responsibilities. But it can also result in a sprawling, bloated federal government that is beyond the scope of what the Founders envisioned.
