Louisiana bans abortion pills

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Two abortion-inducing drugs could soon be reclassified as controlled and dangerous substances in Louisiana under a first-of-its-kind bill that received final legislative passage Thursday and is expected to be signed into law by the governor.
Supporters of the reclassification of mifepristone and misoprostol, commonly known as “abortion pills,” say it would protect expectant mothers from coerced abortions, though they cited only one example of that happening, in the state of Texas. Numerous doctors, meanwhile, have said it will make it harder for them to prescribe the medicines, which they also use for other important reproductive health care needs.
Passage of the bill comes as both abortion rights advocates and abortion opponents await a final decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on an effort to restrict access to mifepristone. The justices did not appear ready to limit access to the drug on the day they heard arguments.
The GOP-dominated Legislature’s push to reclassify mifepristone and misoprostol could possibly open the door for other Republican states with abortion bans that are seeking tighter restrictions on the drugs. Louisiana currently has a near-total abortion ban in place, applying both to surgical and medical abortions.

They’re basically saying, “You have to have a prescription to take abortion pills in Louisiana.” Doesn’t sound like banning to me.

1.) Examples of how this makes it harder for them to prescribe?
2.) Abortion isn't health care. It's a medical procedure, but it's not healthcare.

Why should women have to go out and get a prescription?

Is this “the morning after pills?”
Are they legal now in Louisiana over the counter?

And just have full access to however many of these as they want, with no guidance from a doctor on how to properly take them? Why should women, or anyone have a prescription for any drug?
This isn’t the Plan B pill.

Those doctors aren’t writing for controlled substances?

Why should they not? Prescriptions are required for a lot of drugs that are safer than the abortion pills.
