This is outrageous and against the laws of the states to which the drugs are being sent. So, these doctors are violating the law. This is no different than me sending my prescription drugs to someone in another state.
How is it possible that states have shield laws to protect doctors killing babies in a remote state? Shield laws and sanctuary cities are both created to break our laws. We need to get back to common sense because this is unacceptable, just like child mutilation. The progressives are doing what they can to socialize our country to be like other failed countries. Go figure. All IMO.
“Louisiana’s attorney general, Liz Murrill, is planning to ask federal courts to compel New York and California to honor the Pelican State’s extradition requests for doctors accused of shipping abortion pills.
Last year, Louisiana sent New York an extradition request for a doctor, Margaret Carpenter, who was accused of shipping abortion pills to a minor. New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul, rejected the request and, last month, California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, rejected a similar request.
Both states have so-called shield laws, which are designed to protect medical professionals from civil or criminal penalties if they ship abortion pills to states that restrict abortion.
On Thursday, a spokesman for Ms. Murrill said the attorney general plans to file a federal lawsuit, seeking to compel California and New York to honor the extradition requests. The move is expected to tee up a legal challenge to the constitutionality of shield laws.
“Kathy Hochul and Gavin Newsom are not above the Constitution, and we will hold them accountable. The Supreme Court’s precedents on important Constitutional provisions like the Extradition Clause and the Full Faith and Credit Clause forbid this assault on Louisiana’s sovereignty and her citizens,” Ms. Murrill said in a statement.”
