A Texas judge has barred a New York doctor from prescribing abortion pills to Texas patients, igniting a legal battle that questions state shield laws meant to protect physicians. The lawsuit, initiated by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, extends from grievances tied to the doctor providing abortion services via telemedicine. The case highlights the stark national divide on abortion rights post-Roe v Wade. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has pledged not to cooperate with extradition requests related to this case, underscoring the contentious dynamics between different state laws regarding abortion.
"The lawsuit alleges that Carpenter provided a 20-year-old woman with abortion pills, leading to significant legal consequences and setting up a potential Supreme Court challenge."
"With the case surrounding Dr. Carpenter’s actions, the conflict between states over abortion laws and protections for telemedicine services is becoming increasingly pronounced."
