Looking to curb the distribution of abortion pills, the State of Louisiana filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Food & Drug Administration over permitting such tablets to be mailed into the state from other states.

Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian activist and a former Louisiana state lawmaker, conveyed his backing for the lawsuit on Wednesday, according to The Christian Post.

“I applaud my home state of Louisiana for filing this lawsuit to reinstate commonsense safety requirements that the Biden administration so callously and dangerously removed,” Perkins stated about the lawsuit that was filed Monday. “The Trump administration should repeal approval of mifepristone altogether, but it should also swiftly adopt a policy that aligns with its declaration that abortion belongs under state jurisdiction.”

In 2024, Louisiana approved a law classifying the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol as hazardous controlled substances, effectively prohibiting them from the state.

Nevertheless, since there is no federal ban on the abortion-inducing drugs, some states keep mailing pills to Louisiana residents, despite the state’s recently enacted law.

Recently, Louisiana supplied an arrest warrant for a doctor in California who supposedly mailed abortion drugs to a woman in the state in defiance of state law.

Mifepristone, the abortion pill, is a “murder weapon” and “unsafe for women,” as well as “a tool used by killers” often “against a woman’s will or without her knowledge.” Perkins said.

“While a transparent, unbiased review of mifepristone is taking place, abusers could be disarmed if the Trump administration would re-enact and strengthen the FDA safety protocols originally governing the drug,” he added.

Perkins was referring to several reported instances of men who laced the drinks of pregnant women with abortion-inducing drugs to cause a miscarriage, also harming the women in the process.
