Louisiana Lawmakers Vote to Make Abortion Pills Controlled Substances

The legislation would make possession of the drugs without a prescription a crime in Louisiana, punishable with jail time.

The New York Times

The #legislation, which passed the #Louisiana State Senate by a vote of 29 to 7, now goes to Gov #JeffLandry, a #Republican who previously defended the state’s stringent #AbortionBan in court as AG. He is widely expected to sign it.

By classifying #Abortion pills #mifepristone & #misoprostol as #ScheduleIVDrugs —a category of medicines w/potential for #DrugAbuse or #DrugDependence ( #addiction ) that includes Ambien, Valium, Xanax, & others— lawmakers in #Louisiana say they aim to curb the *illicit distribution* of the drugs. But the #FDA does not consider the 2 #medications to have any potential for abuse or dependence, & yrs of research overwhelmingly show both pills to be #safe.

@Nonilex Watch the underground network happen....

@VeroniqueB99 @Nonilex

Exactly. NOLA is one of the easiest places in the world to get anything you want, "legal" or not...

@MarkRDavid @Nonilex Ididn't mean inside LA... I meant outside everywhere else where this type of thing doesn't pass.... and if per chance it's a nationwide thing eventually (that's where this is heading save or a few blue states) I'll organize my own using my own damned money!!!🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

@VeroniqueB99 @Nonilex

Go for it! (Drug dealer was always my 2nd criminal occupational choice, after jewel thief 😆 )

@MarkRDavid @Nonilex ooohhh I like jewel thief! But it requires skills I don't think I have....🤣
@MarkRDavid then I totally have those skills cuz what a movie!! 🥰

@VeroniqueB99

You know it???!!!! (I don't know many people who do...)

It's a goto for me. Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn - ah! 😊 Just as much fun as Philadelphia Story (Katharine Hepburn & Cary Grant).

@MarkRDavid 👍 As 'oldies' go, they're amazing...

@VeroniqueB99

So much wit in the dialogue!

@MarkRDavid Yeah!!👍
@VeroniqueB99 @MarkRDavid just on Cary Grant favs: His Girl Friday, Charade, An Affair to Remember + all his Hitchcock films.
Audrey Hepburn: also Charade, Roman Holiday, Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (obviously), Two for the Road.

@Nonilex @VeroniqueB99

Never saw Funny Face, but Two for the Road! Young Albert Finney! I haven't watched that in decades...

Looks like my dance card for tonight is suddenly full... 😁 😸 🤩
