Legal Battles Erupt: NY Doctor Sued for Sending Abortion Medication to Texas
A Texas lawsuit has been filed against a New York doctor for allegedly prescribing and mailing abortion pills to a Texas woman.
This legal challenge tests the “shield laws” enacted by states like New York, which aim to protect medical providers who assist patients in restrictive states through telemedicine.
The case underscores conflicts between states with opposing abortion policies following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Texas claims the doctor violated its strict abortion laws, which prohibit distributing such medications by mail.
