Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill will be a key witness for the GOP during a highly anticipated Senate hearing on mail-order abortion drugs, for which anti-abortion advocates have sought tighter regulations in recent years.
A spokesperson for Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, confirmed for the Washington Examiner that Murrill will testify before the committee on Wednesday, highlighting her experience prosecuting cases of coerced abortion in Louisiana using mail-order mifepristone despite nonmedical emergency abortions being illegal in the state.
