A Louisiana woman has been indicted for allegedly obtaining abortion medication online for her daughter, which resulted in a medical emergency. The state recently reclassified mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled substances, despite evidence from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that they are safe and effective for ending pregnancies. The pills have become the most common method of abortion in the U.S., leading to political and legal battles over access. The woman ordered the medication from a New York-based doctor via a questionnaire, with no consultation with her daughter. After the girl experienced a medical emergency, a police investigation revealed that an out-of-state doctor had supplied the drugs. Both the woman and the doctor are facing felony charges in Louisiana, with penalties including prison time and fines. Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has refused to extradite the doctor to Louisiana. In a separate case, a Texas judge has ordered the doctor to pay a penalty for allegedly prescribing abortion medication via telemedicine in violation of state law.
