Louisiana Issues Arrest Warrant For New York Doctor Over Abortion Pill
A grand jury in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has indicted and issued arrest warrants for a New York physician who prescribed abortion pills to a pregnant minor in Louisiana, which has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country.
The case directly targets the most common abortion method in the U.S. and challenges protections for out-of-state providers in Democratic-led states.
In addition to physician Margaret Carpenter and her company, Nightingale Medical, PC, the grand jury unanimously issued an indictment and an arrest warrant for the minor’s mother.
