Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) is refusing to extradite a New York doctor indicted by a Louisiana grand jury for her role in a forced abortion scheme that killed an unborn child and sent the young mother to a hospital.
Rather than fulfill her legal duty to extradite criminals, even though forced abortions are illegal in New York as well, Hochul is instead citing abortion politics for her decision to obstruct the trial.
According to the Susan B. Anthony List, “a Louisiana grand jury has indicted Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter, of Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine in New York, and her company for unlawfully mailing abortion drugs to Louisiana residents.”
“Carpenter reportedly sent drugs to a mother who ordered them online and coerced her minor daughter into taking them against her will. The drugs ended the life of her unborn child and sent the girl to the hospital,” SBA reports.
“It is illegal to send abortion pills into this State and it’s illegal to coerce another into having an abortion. I have said it before and I will say it again: We will hold individuals accountable for breaking the law,” Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill posted on X.
Hochul shot back with her own statement on X, shocking in its disregard for long0stnading laws prohibiting forced abortions.
“Louisiana is attempting to prosecute a New York doctor for providing reproductive health care,” wrote Hochul, referring to a forced abortion on an unwilling woman as “care.”
“After Roe was overturned, I signed laws to protect patients & doctors from exactly this type of action. We will not comply with an extradition request. We will remain a safe harbor,” Hochul wrote.
According to SBA Pro-Life America Director of Legal Affairs Katie Daniel:
“This case exposes how mail-order abortion drugs are fueling an epidemic of coercion, a new form of domestic violence against mothers and their babies. Women who never wanted an abortion to begin with are being assaulted and ending up in the emergency room. This is precisely why Louisiana enacted its law making abortion drug coercion a crime and strengthening safeguards on abortion drugs by making them controlled substances that require a prescription. But in blue states, pro-abortion politicians are doing the polar opposite, shielding abortionists who – as the local district attorney noted – profit from a faceless process requiring nothing more than an online questionnaire. This cannot remotely be considered health care. We thank attorneys general like Liz Murrill and Ken Paxton for standing with women and children. Every pro-life state should do likewise.
