A Texas judge last month ordered Dr. Margaret Carpenter, who practices north of New York City, to pay the penalty for allegedly breaking that state’s law by prescribing abortion medication via telemedicine. The Texas attorney general’s office followed up last week by asking a New York court to enforce the default civil judgment, which is $113,000 with attorney and filing fees.

The acting Ulster County clerk refused.

“In accordance with the New York State Shield Law, I have refused this filing and will refuse any similar filings that may come to our office. Since this decision is likely to result in further litigation, I must refrain from discussing specific details about the situation,” Acting Clerk Taylor Bruck said in a prepared statement.

Good stuff. Small acts of resistance like this add up.

So while I agree with the sentiment, NY state has a law on the books aimed specifically at curtailing this sort of interstate idiocy from red states. The law makes it a crime for any NY state official to extradite or act on court orders around anything related to abortion. So red states can bluster all they want, but as soon as the extradition request or court order is received in New York State, it’s essentially dropped on the floor permanently by law.

Tune in next episode for when they make abortion illegal nationwide or something idfk

From a different article:

New York has, however, enacted a “shield law” that forbids state officials from extraditing abortion providers to other states or complying with out-of-state court orders. In his statement refusing to enforce the Texas fine, acting Ulster county clerk Taylor Bruck cited the law.

Good. This country needs to learn how to kick fascists in the teeth, and I'm more than happy for us to start with my state as a demonstration
