I think I read Louisiana, says the morning after pill is abortion, and illegal. Other states wanting to charge anyone that helps someone driver to another state?
Lets face it. Birth control isn't 100% Sure, abstinence is, but that isn't realistic.
Regardless on which side you fall on, there are many issues that arise with this, and we will never come to any type of middle ground solutions, with the media and the government stirring everyone up, so they won't/can't even have a civil conversation about it.
Yes, Louisiana had the "trigger" law kick in when this was reversed and there are conflicting talks about the morning after pill. Even tho it is FDA approved, the United States AG Merrick Garland said it is a legal drug and should be dispensed regardless.
But in Louisiana, it has a stipulation that will go into effect Aug 1 that "prohibits distributors from distributing drugs for "abortion-inducing purposes."
Quote:This claim could clash with a law in the state of Louisiana, set to go into effect August 1, that prohibits distributors from distributing drugs for "abortion-inducing purposes."
Senate Bill 388 states that any person, company or physician caught distributing abortion-inducing drugs could face up to six months in prison and a $1,000 fine and that anyone caught knowingly performing an abortion with an abortion-inducing drug could face up to five years in prison and up to a $50,000 fine.
Apparently, the drugs can be used ONLY if the pregnancy may be a danger to the mom-to-be or the unborn infant is deemed "unviable"
Per LA State Sen. Sharon Hewitt, who authored the bill banning drugs used for this purpose....
Quote:What the Supreme Court said, is that abortion is a state right to regulate and we have said in the state of Louisiana that abortion is illegal except in the case of protecting the mother if she is at risk or the baby is not viable," said the Republican representing the state's first district.
Hewitt also clarified the some drugs will not be illegal in the state. They are only restricted from being used to induce abortions, except in the case of a mother's life being in danger or an unborn child being deemed not viable.
