Biden campaign hits Trump over Louisiana proposed bill to criminalize possession of abortion pills
President Biden’s reelection campaign is blaming former President Trump for a bill proposed in Louisiana that would criminalize the possession of abortion pills mifepristone and misoprostol.
In a statement first shared with The Hill from the Biden campaign, Louisiana native Kaitlyn Joshua, who was turned away from two emergency rooms and denied reproductive health care while experiencing a miscarriage, called out the former president.
“This is Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda in action: criminalizing women’s reproductive health care,” Joshua said. “This should ring alarm bells for every woman across the country – MAGA Republicans want to ban and criminalize abortion medication everywhere.”
The Pelican State proposal would add mifepristone and misoprostol to the list of controlled dangerous substances and if someone in Louisiana is caught with them, it could lead to 10 years of prison time, local outlet WWNO reported.
