Mifepristone and misoprostol are commonly used in pregnancy and reproductive health care.
One use approved by the FDA is to take the pills to induce an abortion at up to 10 weeks of gestation.
The law is the first of its kind, opening a new front in the state-by-state battle over reproductive medicine.
Mifepristone and misoprostol will be added to a list comprised of opioids, depressants, and stimulants.
Doctors worry that the bill could set a dangerous precedent for state officials who want to restrict access to any drug they consider dangerous or objectionable, regardless of its addictive potential.
Pregnant patients might worry about ordering online or enlisting a friend to help obtain the pills.
Ling, a reproductive rights attorney at If/When/How, is particularly concerned about the prison penalties.
Ling added that there’s concern that the law could also be used to target people who want to order abortion pills online.
