Louisiana law criminalizing possession of abortion pills takes effect

Louisiana's law classifying mifepristone and misoprostol as "controlled dangerous substances" started Tuesday, raising concerns for healthcare providers and pharmacists about impacts on women's care.

Possession of these medications without a prescription could lead to up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, though exceptions exist for pregnant women.
