Shit states gonna shit state
- I’ve been looking for a way to keep up with these shitty states. I’m either going to make a spreadsheet or someone is going to make a website. Either way, It’d help to know at a glance.
Apparently it's still going to be legal to possess them with a prescription, but can doctors in Louisiana write such a prescription?

about 0.3% of people who used mifepristone to end a pregnancy experienced a major complication, meaning they required hospitalization, surgery or a blood transfusion. Surgical abortions done in the first trimester of pregnancy, by comparison, resulted in major complications 0.16% of the time

These pills are more dangerous than a surgical abortion? That's not what I would have expected.
- 0.3% experienceing side effects is hardly "dangerous". That's an order of magnitude less frequent than peanut allergies.
  
  This is not about looking after the best interest of anyone
  
  I don't disagree; I'm just talking about relative risk.
- If pieces remain, they need a D&C, which would never be a complication with surgical abortion because that's the surgery.
Punishment for those wondering is as follows:

For the drug Flunitrazepam : Prison with option of hard labor for no less than one year, no more than ten years. At discretion of the Justice a fine no more than $5,000.

For any other controlled substance under this law : Prison with option of hard labor for no less than one year, no more than five years. At discretion of the Justice a fine no more than $5,000.

For those wondering, Flunitrazepam is the generic name for Rohypnol, aka the date rape drug.
- 10 years fucking years with "hard labour"‽‽‽
  
  What the fuck‽‽‽
  
  Louisiana got to pave them roads somehow.
  
  This is Louisiana, home of the Angola prison.
Fine. You want to live in a medieval inquisition dark ages shithole? Fine, but you don't get to have it both ways. No running water, or electricity or any other comfort.

And when the 6 Dr Peppers a day finally catch up with them, not running to the hospital demanding the most advanced medicine to save their fat asses.

These assholes all deserve what is coming as result of their garbage view of reality.
- Or maybe we could just help everyone we can, and live up to our own standards.
I thought we weren't going to punish women though?
