NEW ORLEANS — First-of-its-kind laws that classifies two abortion-inducing medication as managed and harmful substances was signed into legislation Friday by Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry.
The Republican governor introduced his signing of the invoice in Baton Rouge a day after it gained remaining legislative passage within the state Senate.
Opponents of the measure included many physicians who mentioned the medication produce other essential reproductive well being care makes use of, and that altering the classification might make it more durable to prescribe the medication.
Supporters of the invoice, which impacts the medication mifepristone and misoprostol, mentioned it might defend expectant moms from coerced abortions, although they cited just one instance of that taking place, within the state of Texas.
