Dr. Margaret Carpenter faces significant legal challenges for her role in providing medication abortion to patients in Texas and Louisiana from her practice in New York. A Texas court has ruled against her, imposing fines due to alleged violations of that state's abortion ban. Louisiana has also pursued charges against her, seeking extradition from New York, which Governor Kathy Hochul staunchly opposes. This situation reflects the ongoing legal strife and interstate tension following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade, prompting states to enforce restrictive laws even against non-residents.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul forcefully rejected Louisiana's demand for extradition, emphasizing her state's refusal to comply with what she termed overreaching legal actions.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, interstate conflict has intensified, causing states to impose their abortion policies across state lines, leading to complex, fragmented legal landscapes.
