Difficulties indeed sometimes arise,
but common sense and honest intentions
will generally steer through them.

Louisiana governor signs law classifying abortion pills as controlled substance
The new law classifies the two drugs as Schedule IV drugs under the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law, alongside drugs like Valium and Xanax.
Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill into law on Friday that classifies abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol as “controlled and dangerous” substances.
The state House of Representatives passed the legislation on Tuesday, and the state Senate passed it on Thursday. The new law makes possession of the drugs a crime punishable by jail time or a fine. Surgical and medical abortions are already illegal in the southern state except in extreme cases, meaning it is already difficult to obtain the drugs legally. But now the possession itself without a prescription could get an individual up to five years in prison.

Mississippi man pleads guilty to beheading Satanic statue in Iowa Capitol
Cassidy pleaded guilty to an aggravated misdemeanor count of third-degree criminal mischief, and will receive a deferred judgment with two years of probation. He will also need to pay a $855 civil penalty and pay restitution in an amount still to be determined by the court.
Mississippi Navy Reserve veteran and former congressional candidate pleaded guilty Friday to vandalizing a Satanic statue in the Iowa state Capitol in exchange for prosecutors dropping a hate crime.
The Satanic Temple of Iowa brought a display to the Iowa Capitol building during the holidays, which is allowed under Iowa state laws.

Cassidy claimed at the time that the statue made him “outraged” as a Christian man.
