Louisiana signs law classifying abortion pills as controlled substances

(Baton Rouge, LA)  —  The governor of Louisiana is signing a bill that classifies abortion pills as controlled dangerous substances.  

On Friday, Republican Governor Jeff Landry announced he’d signed new legislation that makes it illegal to possess abortion medications without a valid prescription. Anyone found with those medications without orders from a doctor could face up to five years in prison.  

President Biden called the bill “outrageous” and said it was “a direct result of Trump overturning Roe v. Wade.”
