US EditionNew York Clerk Again Refuses to Enforce Texas Judgment Against Doctor Who Provided Abortion Pills
ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK, JUL 14 – Ulster County Clerk cites New York's shield law to block Texas' $100,000 civil judgment against abortion provider Dr. Margaret Carpenter, reinforcing state protection for abortion services.
- On Monday, Acting Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck again refused to file the Texas civil judgment, citing New York's shield law protections for abortion providers.
- Last week, the Texas attorney general’s office demanded, citing a 'statutory duty,' that Bruck file the judgment, but she refused, invoking New York’s shield law.
- New York is one of eight states with shield laws protecting abortion providers, the shield law was tested this year, Hochul invoked it to block enforcement, and Bruck reaffirmed the refusal on Monday.
- Responding to the filing, Hochul criticized `the personal decisions of women across America`, while Bruck stated `New York won’t be bullied`.
- This legal battle could set a precedent for shield laws, as opponents claim they violate the duty to honor other states' judgments.
