In a move that echoes recent legislation from neighboring Louisiana, Texas Rep. Pat Curry, a Republican from Waco, has introduced a bill aiming to reclassify common abortion-inducing drugs as controlled substances. According to KVUE, the proposed House Bill 1339 seeks to crack down on access to mifepristone and misoprostol, particularly for teenagers seeking to terminate pregnancies via online orders. Critics argue that this measure, similar to the one in Louisiana that has already been implemented, has done less to enforce the state’s strict abortion laws and more to stir fear and confusion among healthcare providers and patients.
