Idaho proposes classifying abortion pills as controlled substances, with severe penalties for illegal distribution.

Idaho lawmakers are considering a bill that would classify abortion pills mifepristone and misoprostol as Schedule IV controlled substances, adding them to a drug monitoring program to prevent abuse. Idaho already has strict abortion laws, allowing them only in specific cases. If passed, those who unlawfully manufacture, distribute, or prescribe these drugs could face up to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
