Louisiana is seeking to prosecute the doctor, who allegedly provided abortion medication to a minor there. The case is a key test for blue state “shield laws.”

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul rejected a request to extradite a doctor who was charged with prescribing abortion pills online to a Louisiana resident last month.

A Texas judge on Thursday fined a New York doctor for prescribing abortion pills to a woman near Dallas in one of the first challenges in the US to “shield laws” enacted in Democratic-controlled states where abortion is legal.
