US EditionNY judge dismisses legal challenge from Texas in early test of abortion shield law
A New York judge upheld the shield law protecting abortion providers, dismissing Texas' attempt to enforce a $100,000 civil judgment against a New York doctor.
- On Friday, a New York judge dismissed Texas's bid to enforce more than $100,000 against Dr. Margaret Carpenter, citing New York’s shield law.
- New York is among at least eight states with shield laws protecting providers, and Taylor Bruck, acting Ulster County Clerk, refused to file the Texas judgment citing New York’s shield law.
- The judge wrote Carpenter’s medical services are legal in New York and fall `squarely within the definition of 'legally protected health activity'` under the state's shield law, granting Bruck's motion to dismiss Texas's petition and denying New York Attorney General Letitia James's motion to intervene.
- Justice David Gandin issued an injunction barring Dr. Margaret Carpenter from prescribing abortion medication to Texas residents while dismissing the enforcement petition, but it was not clear whether the rulings would be appealed, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul rejected a Louisiana request to extradite Carpenter.
- Legal analysts note this case highlights the constitutional issue of full faith and credit, while opponents of shield laws argue they conflict with respecting other states' laws.
