Dr. Margaret Carpenter, a New York physician, has been indicted in Louisiana on felony charges for allegedly prescribing abortion pills via telemedicine to a teenager. This case is significant as it represents the first criminal indictment against a medical provider for mailing abortion medication post-Roe v. Wade, amidst Louisiana's stringent abortion laws. Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James have pledged to protect Carpenter from extradition, denouncing the charges as an attack on reproductive rights. The case highlights ongoing tensions between states with liberal abortion laws and those tightening restrictions following the Supreme Court’s ruling.
