New York rejects Louisiana’s extradition request, doctors who prescribe abortion pills

Albany, N.Y. (AP) – New York on Thursday rejected a request from Louisiana to extradite a doctor accused of prescription abortion pill in Deep South state for protection Potential tests of the law to protect those prescribed such provisions of such provisions prohibited state drugs.

Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she would disrespect Louisiana’s request to arrest and send a doctor to Louisiana because she was charged with violating the strict anti-abortion law in the southern state.

“I will not sign an extradition order from the governor of Louisiana,” Hochul said at a press conference in Manhattan. “Not now, never.”

She also said she sent a notice to New York law enforcement instructing them not to work with out-of-state arrest warrants to make such charges.

The case against Dr. Maggie Carpenter, based in New York, appears to be the first case in a criminal charge against accused of prescribing abortion medication to doctors in another state.

Roev was overthrown in the U.S. Supreme Court. After Wade, pills have become the most common method of miscarriage in the United States and are in the face of abortion in political and legal struggles.

Showdowns in New York and Louisiana among carpenters are expected to lead to a court case that could test New York’s so-called Shield Act, which provides legal protections for doctors who prescribe abortion drugs that are prohibited from abortion or other restrictions. Other democratically controlled countries have similar shield laws.

Prosecutors in the Diocese of West Baton Rouge, Louisiana, prosecutors prosecuted carpenters for violating the state’s near-complete abortion ban that allows doctors convicted of abortion, including a pill, to sentence up to 15 years in prison .

Louisiana authorities said the girl who received the pills experienced an emergency and had to be transported to the hospital. The girl’s mother was also charged and has turned herself to the police.

In a video statement Thursday, Republican Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said: “In this case, there is only one correct answer, and doctors have to face Louisiana extradition, in There she can accept judgment and justice.”

Landry’s office did not immediately return the email request sent after Hawkel refused the extradition request.

Carpenter was also charged by the Texas attorney general in the second half of last year and was charged with similar charges. The case does not involve criminal charges.
