Louisiana sued for controlled substance law

A group of health care providers and two Louisiana women who were denied abortion care are suing state officials to block a new law that makes common pregnancy medications controlled dangerous substances, arguing the law is discriminatory and unconstitutional.

The plaintiffs include Birthmark Doula Collective in New Orleans, Dr. Emily Holt, a New Orleans family medicine physician, Shreveport pharmacist Kaylee Self, who is pregnant, and Nancy Davis and Kaitlyn Joshua, two Baton Rouge women who were denied abortion care in 2022 after Louisiana’s near-total ban took effect.

Lift Louisiana and the Lawyering Project, which both support reproductive rights, filed the suit on Oct. 31 in the 19th Judicial District Court in East Baton Rouge. It names the state, Attorney General Elizabeth Murrill, the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy and Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners as defendants.
