Louisiana Becomes First State to Classify Abortion Pills as Controlled Substances
TL;DR Summary
Louisiana's new law reclassifies abortion pills mifepristone and misoprostol as Schedule IV controlled substances, increasing restrictions and penalties for possession without a prescription. Pregnant women are exempt from prosecution, but others who help them obtain the drugs are not. The law could face legal challenges and may inspire similar legislation in other states.
