Criminalization of Poisoning Pregnant Women with Abortion Drugs in Louisiana

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill criminalizing the act of poisoning pregnant women with abortion drugs. The law also classifies the drugs as controlled substances, imposes penalties for possession without prescription, and creates new crimes related to coerced abortion. The bill was introduced after a man in Texas tried to secretly abort his sister's baby. The Biden administration blamed Donald Trump for the bill's passage.
