“Two drugs that can be used to induce medicated abortions are now classified as controlled substances in Louisiana as a controversial new law takes effect Oct. 1. Doctors have said the new restrictions will delay life-saving care for some patients. Louisiana becomes the first state to label the two drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, as controlled substances. Abortion has been illegal in Louisiana since a trigger law went into effect with the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade. The two drugs are also useful for inducing labor, preventing ulcers, and treating constipation and postpartum hemorrhages.” (10/01/24)
