In response to Republicans\u2019 recent attacks on abortion shield laws, which protect abortion patients and providers from interstate criminal and civil penalties in abortion cases, <\/em>DNC Communications Director Rosemary Boeglin released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Donald Trump\u2019s America, women are denied health care and doctors are prosecuted for doing their job. Trump \u2018proudly\u2019 dismantled Roe v. Wade<\/em>, and now he\u2019s deploying his minions in states across the country to go after doctors who are safely prescribing medication to their patients. It\u2019s clear MAGA extremists will go to any length to punish women and strip away our freedoms, one by one. Democrats will fight back to defend against extreme Republicans\u2019 attacks and protect women\u2019s freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors in New York \u2013 a state with abortion shield laws \u2013 are being targeted for supplying mifepristone to Texas and Louisiana patients seeking help after extreme abortion bans were placed in their state.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cA Texas judge on Thursday ordered a New York doctor to stop prescribing and sending abortion pills to patients in Texas and to pay a penalty of more than $100,000 for providing the medication to one woman. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTexas was the first state with an abortion ban to initiate legal action against abortion providers in states with shield laws. But other states with abortion bans are expected to follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cArrest warrant issued for New York doctor indicted in Louisiana for prescribing abortion pill\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn arrest warrant has been issued for a New York doctor indicted on Friday by a Louisiana grand jury for allegedly prescribing abortion pills online to a pregnant minor in the Deep South state, which has one of the strictest near-total abortion bans in the country. \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe indictment comes just months after Louisiana became the first state with a law reclassifying both mifepristone and misoprostol as \u2018controlled dangerous substances.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cNew York governor rejects Louisiana’s extradition request for doctor in abortion pill case\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I will not be signing an extradition order that came from the governor of Louisiana, not now, not ever,\u2019 Hochul said at a news conference Thursday after her office received the order for the abortion provider, Dr. Margaret Carpenter. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Louisiana has changed their laws, but that has no bearing on the laws here in the state of New York. Doctors take an oath to protect their patients. I took an oath of office to protect all New Yorkers, and I will uphold not only our constitution, but also the laws of our land,\u2019 Hochul said.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
