KINGSTON — Last week, Texas tried for the second time to force New York to recognize a ruling against a Hudson Valley doctor who allegedly prescribed abortion pills to a woman in Texas. And for the second time, the Ulster County clerk charged with filing the document has refused to do so, citing New York’s telehealth abortion shield law.

Texas has sought to fine a New York-based doctor who prescribed mifepristone to a Dallas woman, in a case likely headed to the Supreme Court.

Republican Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton wants 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.
