Texas AG Ken Paxton Sues New York Doctor Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter for Prescribing Abortion Pills to Dallas-area Woman
Dec 13, 2024, 10:04 PM
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter, a New York-based physician, for allegedly prescribing abortion pills to a Texas resident via telemedicine. The lawsuit, filed in Collin County, marks a significant legal challenge to the state's near-total abortion ban and the shield laws enacted by Democratic-controlled states that protect out-of-state abortion providers. This case is reportedly the first attempt to test the legal boundaries between state abortion laws, as it addresses the conflict between Texas's restrictive abortion regulations and New York's protective measures for abortion access. The lawsuit accuses Carpenter of violating Texas law by providing abortion-inducing drugs without a Texas medical license, thus raising concerns about the implications for interstate telemedicine practices.
