NY court rejects Texas judgment against doctor in abortion pill case

A New York county clerk refused to file a Texas judgment against Dr. Margaret Carpenter for prescribing abortion pills, stating, "I have refused this filing and will refuse any similar filings that may come to our office."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office successfully sued Dr. Linda Prine for prescribing abortion pills, marking a significant legal challenge to shield laws.
New York officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul, plan to defend abortion providers like Dr. Prine and Carpenter against out-of-state legal actions under shield laws established post-Dobbs.
The implications of these cases could set a national precedent regarding the interaction between states and their abortion laws, potentially reaching the Supreme Court.
