Far-right Texas AG sues doctor — in New York — for mailing woman abortion pills

Raw Story  

Far-right Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued a New York doctor on Friday that he accused of unlawfully providing a Texas woman abortion pills in violation of the conservative state’s strict abortion laws. The state’s three-term Republican attorney general claimed in the lawsuit filed Friday that physician Margaret Daley Carpenter violated a Texas law banning a physician from mailing or prescribing online any abortion-inducing drugs to state residents, according to media reports. Paxton added that the doctor, who founded the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine, “caused serious harm to this patient.” “This doctor prescribed abortion-inducing drugs –unauthorized, over telemedicine – causing her patient to end up in the hospital with serious complications.” Paxton's lawsuit seeks to prohibit Carpenter from “violating Texas law” and calls for civil penalties of at least $100,000 per violation. New York is one of a handful of states with shield laws protecting health care providers who treat patients by mail in states that ban or restrict abortion pills.
