The acting clerk of the County of Ulster says that he rejects a depot of Judgment of Texas against a new doctor Paltz.
In a statement, Taylor Bruck said he had informed the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, the judgment against Dr. Maggie Carpenter, accused of having provided Miffepristone – who can be used to end pregnancies as part of a diet with two Misoprostol drugs – to a Texas resident via television, will not be deposited. Bruck Cité The New York Shield Act, Who is in place to protect health care providers based in New York and patients of civil and civil liability in other states in the context of abortion and resources affirming the sexes.
“… I refused this file and I will refuse any similar file that could come to our office,” said Bruck in the press release. “Since this decision is likely to result in additional disputes, I must refrain from discussing specific details on the situation.”
In February, a Texas district judge ruled that Dr. Carpenter was paying a fine of $ 100,000 and the fees of lawyer, for allegedly violating a Texas law by pilling the pills.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that there are decades of evidence that mifepristone and misoprostol are safe and effective.
The pills have become the most common abortion method in the United States and are at the center of political and legal fighting on access to abortion after the reversal of Roe against Wade. These prescriptions, made online and by telephone, are a key reason that the number of abortions has increased in the United States since state bans began to take effect.
Governor Kathy Hochul had previously rejected a request from Louisiana to extradite Carpenter, who was charged in this state prescribe abortion pills to a pregnant minor.
The executive of Ulster County, Jen Metzger, expressed his support for the rejection of Bruck, saying that he was following the intention of the state shield law.
“States have no business that interferes in women’s genesic health decisions, and New York is a safe refuge for those looking for reproductive health care,” Metzger said in a statement.
The member of the Congress Pat Ryan, who represents a large part of the County of Ulster, said in a statement that “Ulster County County Taylor, Bruck, supported the law and defended the justice by rejecting Paxton’s base against Dr. Maggie Carpenter”.
