New York rejected Texas’ second attempt to punish a doctor to determine the pill of an abortion
A clerk in New York County rejected Texas’s second attempt to punish a doctor to determine and send abortion drugs to a woman in Texas.
The Lone Star State tried to force New York again last week, to recognize a Texas woman against Dr. Margaret Carpenter to recognize her verdict for allegedly deciding and mailing abortion pills to Dr Margaret Carpenter.
Texas officials sent a letter to Clark’s office last week that he tried to force Acting Alster Clark Taylor Brook to revisit his decision, and gave him a deadline for July 16 by the Office of the Alter County Clark.
Brook said in a statement, “Rejection stands.” Although I am absolutely not sure how things work in Texas, here in New York, the rejection meaning is closed. ”
Texas Attorney General Ken Pacston filed a lawsuit against Carpenter in December, alleged that he violated the state’s abortion ban after 20 -year -old Texan woman determined and sent abortion drugs.
According to the New York Times, Carpenter or his lawyer did not attend a court hearing on the allegations or responded to the case. A Texas judge ordered the Carpenter to pay a fine of more than $ 100,000 to determine the drug.
Packstone’s office followed by the Office of the Alter County Clark and requested to implement the default citizen in March, which refused to do so by quoting the IELD law in the state of clerk.
“According to the New York State Shield Act, I refused this filing and would refuse any filing that could come to our office,” Brook said in a statement in March.
A Pacston spokesman did not immediately respond to any request to comment from the heel.
One of the eight states in New York is that a telemedicine abortion has IELD Laws to protect the health care suppliers from the request of removal of fines, criminal complaints and abortion care.
New York officials, including Governor Kathy Huchul (D), have promised to protect carpenter and other abortion suppliers and their patients.
