On October 1, 2024, Louisiana’s Act 246 took effect and added mifepristone and misoprostol to Louisiana’s Controlled Dangerous Substances (“CDS”) schedules, subjecting medical professionals and their patients to a highly regulated legal scheme. The Act is already serving as a model for anti-abortion lawmakers in other states, subjecting those who possess mifepristone and misoprostol but are not pregnant to extreme sentences and reducing access to necessary treatments for a range of conditions, including postpartum hemorrhage and miscarriage management.
But we’re not standing by!
Lift Louisiana has joined the fight with Birthmark Doula Collective v. Louisiana, a lawsuit challenging Act 246.
We’re suing to protect healthcare, patient safety, and the right to reproductive care. And now is your chance to join this fight! More information on the litigation can be found here: Litigation: Challenging Act 246 — Lift Louisiana
