The lawsuit marks the first formal legal challenge by an anti-abortion attorney general against a Democratic-controlled state's shield laws, testing pro-choice protections.
Carpenter is part of a national network of doctors in pro-choice states that dispense abortion medication by mail, advocating for reproductive justice.
The case raises questions about how much force anti-choice states can exert in pursuing abortion bans beyond their borders, involving states' rights and health access.
Doctors like Carpenter have become pivotal in the public health response to Dobbs, ensuring American women access safe, dignified abortion care.
