Summary

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued New York doctor Maggie Carpenter for prescribing abortion pills to a Texas woman via telemedicine, challenging New York’s shield laws that protect out-of-state abortion providers.

Texas seeks $250,000 in damages, claiming the prescription violated its abortion ban and led to medical complications.

This case could discourage telemedicine abortions in states with bans, despite protections in blue states like New York.

The lawsuit intensifies the post-Roe battle over interstate abortion access, with Republican-led states pushing stricter abortion pill restrictions and Democratic states vowing to defend providers.

This is the same kind of states rights that the south was aiming for that kicked off the slaver's rebellion. Trying to force other states to follow their regressive and inhumane laws.
