A New York state court has blocked Texas prosecutors from filing legal action against a New York doctor who prescribed and sent abortion pills to a woman in Texas. The Ulster Country clerk of court refused to recognize Texas’ filing and cited New York’s abortion shield laws as protecting the New York-based doctor from legal action for providing abortion care. This is likely to set up a legal battle, bringing this issue to a federal court to decide which state’s laws count, how and when. MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin breaks it down.
