Louisiana moves to classify abortion pills as controlled substances
Louisiana lawmakers approved a first of its kind bill to reclassify mifepristone and misoprostol as Schedule IV controlled dangerous substances. The measure, backed by Republicans and antiabortion groups, faces Gov. Jeff Landry's desk and could delay treatment by requiring licensing and stricter storage. Opponents warn it risks limiting reproductive care and worsening maternal health outcomes while Democrats label it politically charged amid a pending Supreme Court decision on mifepristone.
