By A proposed bill in the Texas Legislature would reclassify abortion-inducing drugs as controlled substances. State Representative Pat Curry, a GOP freshman from Waco, filed House Bill 1339 earlier this month. Curry said the idea is to make it harder for people, including teenagers, to order misoprostol and mifepristone online to end their pregnancies.
Doctors in Louisiana say a similar law has done little to strengthen the state’s ban on abortions, but has led to confusion among doctors, patients, and pharmacists.
