The Attorney General of Louisiana, Elizabeth Murrill, promises not to give up the efforts of the State for a doctor established in New York who has sent abortic medication to the Pelican state, even while her office is launching another investigation into the doctor.
Louisiana officials have tried to deliver a doctor in New York, Margaret Carpenter, charged with alleged steering medication to a minor. The Governor of New York, Kathyhochul, has challenging that she will not honor the extradition request, and the impasse seems to have been frozen.
Mrs. Murrill said This week, state officials Mrs Carpenter investigate for another case of sending abortion medication to another woman in Louisiana. During a hearing at the Louisiana House Civil Law and Procedure Committee, Mrs. Murrill said that her office and police in Shreveport are investigating the case of a woman who was 20 weeks pregnant when she was reportedly prescribed abortion medication by Mrs Carpenter.
The second case involving Mrs. Carpenter could increase the pressure on Louisiana officials in order to write a mandamus in an attempt to force civil servants from New York to protect a so-called shield law Abortion providers against civil or criminal sanctions-to meet the extradition request.
Mrs Hochul has stated that she will not approve the extradition order “not now, never never”.
The battle for extradition and other penalties against doctors who send abortion medication to states with abortion prohibitions can set up a legal battle that tests the limits of those shield laws.
Article IV section 2 of the Constitution states that everyone who will ‘flee from justice and will be found’ will be ‘delivered’ to the State that has submitted the extradition request. The Supreme Court has ordered states to honor extradition requests to give fugitives back to states where they reportedly committed a crime.
However, because Mrs. Carpenter was not in Louisiana when she prescribed the pills, there are questions about whether she is eligible as a fugitive. The law of New York states that it would deliver a suspect if the ‘demanding’ state claims that the individual has committed a crime and then ‘fled from that state’, those officials of Louisiana have not claimed.
During Monday’s hearing, Mrs. Murrill stated that Louisiana officials will not stop trying to deliver [Carpenter] And continue her for the crimes she commits in our state. “
The office of the Attorney General did not respond to the request of the Sun for comment about which steps it could take in the light of his second investigation into Mrs. Carpenter.
Regardless of where the second investigation is going, Mrs. Murrill said that the case is another example of why the State should stand a different bill that is aimed at abortion currently belonging to the state legislator.
The legislation, House Bill 575would allow pregnant women, the ‘grandparents of the unborn child’ and legal guardians – if the case concerns a minor who was pregnant – to ‘every person who performs, causes or substantially causing an abortion’. ‘The bill would also let the parents of a rapist Sue Sue if a woman received an abortion for a pregnancy that was the result of a rape. However, the rapist could not sue.
Those who run the risk of being charged also include persons involved in the “production, administration, prescribing, providing, distributing or selling an abortion-inducing medicine.” Moreover, lawsuits could be brought, even if the abortion medication did not end pregnancy.
The current law prohibits abortion in most cases in Louisiana, and women who were pregnant can sue abortion providers in the civil court for the termination of their pregnancy.
The bill could also submit residents of Louisiana lawsuits against abortion providers outside the state, such as Mrs. Carpenter. A state legislator, Lauren Ventrella, said that she introduced the bill as “another tool in the toolbox” to limit abortion medication that is emailed to the state.
Mrs. Murrill supported the legislation and said: “The problem we have is that there are activists who are planning to send these pills to people by post.”
The Civil Law and Procedure Committee has expressed the bill in 8-2 votes and it goes to the entire house for a vote.
If the law is passed, it is unclear what impact it will have. An acting court clerk in New York, Taylor Bruck, refused to enforce a fine in Texas against Mrs. Carpenter for sending abortion medication to the state. Mr Bruck also stated that he “would refuse any similar archives that can come to our office.”
