Louisiana lawmakers have approved a bill to classify abortion pills as dangerous controlled substances, making possession without a prescription a punishable offense. Despite opposition from medical professionals and Democrats, the bill is expected to be signed into law by the governor. The move aims to restrict the illicit distribution of the pills, but critics argue that it will hinder safe and legal use for non-abortion purposes. The legislation has sparked national debate, with Democrats and abortion rights groups condemning it as conservative overreach. There are concerns about potential legal challenges and the impact on women's health.
