Louisiana's Abortion Bill Reclassification

Louisiana's new law reclassifying abortion pills as controlled substances is a controversial move expected to impact abortion access. The bill, signed by Governor Jeff Landry, categorizes the pills as controlled substances alongside drugs like Xanax and Valium. Critics argue the reclassification will create barriers to accessing Mifepristone and Misoprostol, essential for medical uses beyond inducing abortions. This legislation adds criminality to possessing these drugs and imposes stricter regulations on their prescription and storage.
