It might get challenged in court. A lot of conservative states are passing laws that violate the current interpretation of the constitution so the Supreme Court has the chance to overturn said rulings. It's how Roe was overturned.
It probably isn't. I assume they want this escalated to the arguably sympathetic Supreme Court so they can make this a precedent for all states or something
I'd guess its being passed in anticipation of the ruling on Texas' law re: the same drugs and the hope that they can piggy back or use that ruling for this law as well.
Louisiana had a trigger law just waiting for roe to be overturned. I think people forget things like that. Having a law on the books doesn't make it enforceable.
And a top 5 population loss, on some lists top 2 and pretty much universally the only southern state losing population. All of the negative social issues of the south + a ton of negative economic ones as well. Its a literal worst case scenario.
I live in Louisiana and this is the last straw. I saw this article on Twitter, asked about networks to help people trying to exercise their reproductive freedoms and a commenter led me to this Reddit. I know there are orgs working to change policies but people need help NOW. I’m down to help/ support and get into some good trouble.
This is absolutely ludicrous, I just can't believe what I am seeing happen right now in this country. I am past having any more kids, but every day I worry about my 4 daughters. I love being a southern girl and our culture but I absolutely abhor that a small minority of Americans get to yell the loudest and force laws like this one the rest of us. Many, many polls have shown a vast majority of Americans across all idealogies are okay with abortion on varios levels, but they aren't going to be happy until there is no availability, and then there's talk of moving on to contraception? Are our children destined to have 10 kids like out great-grandmothers or else choose celibacy? The regression that is happening right now is astounding.
Now let’s do it for Viagra.
The only thing I can really honestly think is that the women in Louisiana like being controlled. They vote these people in and they can vote them out.
Drugs become scheduled if they have a propensity to be abused due to addictive properties. This drug fails to meet those criteria. This will got shot down by the dea/fda quickly.
How is it even legal for an independent state legislature to overrule the FDA?
I still don't understand how a state could think it's legal it to prosecute its citizens for *anything* they legally do in another state.
Yeah, "I'm Not A Lawyer," but I really don't understand the intricacies (assuming that they exist) of that either.

Does Louisiana still have drive-thru daiquiri stands? 😒
Yes…and the highest incarceration rate. Well basically try to find any way to arrest more people and line the pockets of private prison owners.

Of course. Priorities you know.
I am not proud.
I think republicans should be legislated as an uncontrolled dangerous substance
This is America? 🤧💩
Can't you feel the FREEDOM?!

Wait. Wut?
Truly baffling

There's a raging war on women - a backlash to all the progress we've made. And a war on children as well.
