Texas Sues NY Doctor Over Cross-State Abortion Pill Prescriptions
TL;DR Summary
Texas has filed a lawsuit against a New York doctor for prescribing abortion pills to a Texas woman, challenging the shield laws that protect out-of-state physicians after Roe v. Wade was overturned. The lawsuit, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, seeks $250,000 in damages but involves no criminal charges. This legal action could deter doctors from prescribing abortion pills to Texas residents, despite protections offered by some Democratic states. The case highlights ongoing tensions over abortion rights and the use of telemedicine for medication abortions.
