Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has signed a bill into law requiring abortion providers to inform women about the abortion pill reversal if they re having a chemical abortion.Â
Known as House Bill 578 or Act 483, the Democrat governor signed the measure along with other bills last Friday, with the new law expected to go into effect on Aug. 1.
The law pertains to chemical abortions, also sometimes referred to as medical abortions, in which women are given two drugs in the form of pills: mifepristone or RU-486, and misoprostol. Mifepristone works by blocking the effects of the natural pregnancy hormone progesterone. Misoprostol induces contractions and a miscarriage.
