A doctor in New York mailed abortion-inducing drugs to a pregnant woman in Texas. The woman took the pills, which killed the baby, and ended up in the ER due to hemorrhaging.
Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas, filed a lawsuit against Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter of Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine for mailing the dangerous drugs. Paxton accused her of practicing without a license. From the attorney general’s press release:
Texas laws prohibit a physician or medical supplier from providing any abortion-inducing drugs by courier, delivery, or mail service. Additionally, no physician may treat patients or prescribe Texas residents medicine through telehealth services unless the doctor holds a valid Texas medical license.
Carpenter could face civil penalties of $100,000 for each violation.
“In this case, an out-of-state doctor violated the law and caused serious harm to this patient,” Paxton said. “This doctor prescribed abortion-inducing drugs—unauthorized, over telemedicine—causing her patient to end up in the hospital with serious complications. In Texas, we treasure the health and lives of mothers and babies, and this is why out-of-state doctors may not illegally and dangerously prescribe abortion-inducing drugs to Texas residents.”
Killing unborn babies with drugs is a two-step process.
Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone to kill the baby by starving him of nutrients, and misoprostol expels the tissue.
