US EditionChallenge to Louisiana law that lists abortion pills as controlled dangerous substances can proceed
- A legal challenge in Louisiana can proceed against a law classifying abortion pills misoprostol and mifepristone as Schedule IV controlled substances as of October 2023.
- The law resulted from a Republican state senator’s effort and anti-abortion groups aiming to prevent coerced abortions and restrict access to these drugs.
- Plaintiffs, including a doctor, pharmacist, Nancy Davis, and the Birthmark Doula Collective, argue reclassification causes life-threatening delays and harder access for medical emergencies.
- Possessing these drugs without a prescription can bring fines up to $5,000 and jail terms of one to five years, as the pills are now in the same category as addictive opioids like tramadol.
- Judge Jewel Welch refused Louisiana’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit, allowing continued judicial examination of the law’s effects amid the state’s notably stringent restrictions on abortion-related medications.
