Louisiana has now classified abortion pills as “controlled substances,” only allowing their prescription for “legitimate” reasons.
From Live Action. A Louisiana law requiring the classification of the abortion pill drugs mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled substances went into effect on October 1.

Act 246, also known as the Catherine and Josephine Herring Act, was sponsored by State Senator Thomas Pressly, who said his sister was unknowingly given the abortion pill mifepristone by her husband, who wanted to kill their preborn child.
Pressly said his bill is meant to ensure that mifepristone and misoprostol do not end up in the wrong hands — particularly as the abortion pill has become increasingly easy to get through mail-order services.
“This bill really does two things,” he explained. “One, we’re making sure the pills are being able to be used for legitimate health care reasons. They’re going to continue to be able to be used. They can be in hospitals when emergencies come up. And they can be prescribed outside of a hospital setting when necessary as well. By a doctor, by a nurse practitioner, by a physician’s assistant. At the same time, if these pills are used for improper means and things that are not allowed under Louisiana law, such as abortion, then the bad actors will be held responsible and liable in a criminal fashion for that act,” Pressly said. …

Specialist ER doctors who treat women with crisis pregnancies never need to do abortions, even to save lives – they might induce a labour and place the infant in an incubator in the neonatal ICU, for example and add prayer to see many lives saved!
IS there a legitimate use of a controlled substance that kills a child in the womb, with potentially severe and possibly life-threatening effects on the mother?
Forgive us, Father God for the grievous, selfish sin of abortion. Praying for an end to abortion by mail. What must these women or girls go through emotionally when they see the remains of their baby whose life they have chosen to terminate. Help us LORD to speak Your truth in love about the sanctity of every human life In JESUS” Name.
Lord, we thank you for laws restricting abortion drugs in many states. The use of these drugs without clinical supervision has resulted in many serious and permanent health conditions. We pray for your protection of both the unborn babies and pregnant mothers through adequate laws and supervision. In your Holy name, Lord Jesus, Amen
Father I pray that you will take away the authority of care givers who’s only agenda is profit and not safety for their clients in the name of our Lord amen!
