Texas AG Challenges NY Doctor Over Abortion Pill Telemedicine

Texas has filed a lawsuit against a New York doctor for prescribing abortion pills to a Texas woman, challenging New York's shield laws designed to protect out-of-state physicians. This case marks a significant test of interstate telemedicine and abortion rights following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claims the prescription led to medical complications, while New York officials vow to defend reproductive rights. The lawsuit could deter doctors from prescribing abortion pills across state lines, despite legal protections in some states.
