Louisiana has passed a law designating abortion pills as dangerous controlled substances. Possession of mifepristone and misoprostol without a prescription would lead to fines and jail time once the bill is signed by Gov. Jeff Landry. Critics warn that this law will hinder safe and legal use of the drugs. Abortion opponents argue that the pills are unsafe and seek to restrict access. Despite this, some individuals seek abortions in states where it remains legal or utilize prescriptions from doctors in other states. Reproductive rights groups plan to challenge the law and express concerns about its potential replication in other states.
