Kathryn and Cheryl--- I agree with both of you and add that to me it seems like legislators are practicing medicine without a medical degree or license. If you or I (a retired teacher) were to prescribe anything we could be held accountable for that. I am hoping ACLU or some other organization will test these hurtful laws in court on that basis.

I'm a retired nurse and couldn't administer so much as an aspirin without a doctor's order. Yet, legislators can can make a drug approved by the FDA and in clinical use for decades illegal? Criminal penalties for docs who prescribe???
Their claims that it's dangerous are specious. A man taking Viagra is 6x more likely to die than a woman taking the abortion pill. The death rate for both these meds is negligible.
