New York refuses Louisiana's extradition request for doctor charged with prescribing abortion pills

  • New York Governor Kathy Hochul has refused to extradite Dr. Margaret Carpenter, citing her commitment to protect healthcare providers who prescribe abortion medication.
  • Louisiana has charged Carpenter with criminal violations related to the state's near-total abortion ban, which imposes harsh penalties on offenders.
  • Despite facing legal challenges, New York's shield laws protect physicians from prosecution and allow telehealth access for abortion medication across state lines.
  • Legal experts believe New York's laws will prevent the enforcement of Texas's judgment against Carpenter, urging her to remain in New York to continue providing legally compliant care.
