A New York judge dismissed a legal challenge Friday from Texas seeking to enforce a more than $100,000 civil judgment against a doctor accused of prescribing abortion pills to a Dallas-area woman in an early test of the state's “shield law” designed to protect providers.
Republican Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton wanted a New York court to enforce a civil decision from Texas against Dr. Margaret Carpenter, who practices north of New York City in Ulster County, for allegedly prescribing abortion medication via telemedicine.
But acting Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck refused to file the judgment, saying he was a government employee who had to comply with New York's shield law, which protects providers from other states’ reach.
New York is among at least eight states with shield laws. Opponents of the laws argue they violate a constitutional requirement that states respect the laws and legal judgments of other states.
Justice David Gandin ruled that Bruck followed New York law and granted his motion to dismiss the petition from Texas. The judge, sitting in Kingston, wrote that the medical services Carpenter rendered are legal in New York and that they fall "squarely within the definition of ‘legally protected health activity’” under the state's shield law.

So Texas does not want abortion pills mailed in right? So could drug sniffing dogs smell misoprostol or mifepriston?
They just use drug sniffing dogs to find that in the mail and bust the women buying the stuff in Texas?
Start selling guns and ammo via mail to New Yorkers.
Federal mail, not state mail
“Start selling guns and ammo via mail to New Yorkers.”
Send all the mosques in New York city LGBTQ flags and “Queers for Palestine” t shirts.
I thought the USPS was federal.
Just put out a criminal warrant for the judge. Then the judge can’t leave NY.
Exactly this pretty much destroys most of the anti 2a states laws on selling of guns across states lines.
From the article:
“It was not clear if the trial court judge’s ruling would be appealed. An email seeking comment was set to Paxton’s office.”
Full faith and credit, huh?
