Abortion Shield Law: Texas Sues Ulster County Clerk for Rejecting Judgment Against New York Doctor
Read the Full Article“The anti-woman, anti-abortion zealots are at it again. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is trying to come after a New York doctor who prescribed medication abortion via telemedicine — the same doctor who is facing charges in Louisiana for the so-called ‘crime’ of prescribing this FDA-approved medication.
“Today, the County Clerk in Ulster County bravely stood up with a simple message: hell no. Acting County Clerk Taylor Bruck has formally notified Texas that in accordance with our shield laws he is rejecting the filing of a judgment against a New York doctor. New York is grateful for his courage and common sense.
“This is New York. We’ll never back down from fighting for these fundamental rights.”
“New York’s shield law protects patients and providers from out-of-state anti-choice attacks. I applaud the Ulster County Clerk for doing what's right, and my office will always defend our medical professionals and the people they serve.”
“Texas AG Ken Paxton chose the wrong community to mess with. Today, Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck upheld the law and stood for justice by rejecting Paxton’s baseless filing against Dr. Maggie Carpenter. The Hudson Valley doesn’t back down — we stand for freedom, and together, we will win this fight.”
“Ulster County has been crystal clear that we will stand up and fight back when extremists try to interfere in women's healthcare decisions and the rights of doctors to provide care. I’m proud to be in that fight.”
“The only response to this depraved effort by Texas to penalize private healthcare decisions is to reject it, and our Acting County Clerk has courageously done that today in upholding the New York State Shield Law. New York will not bend to the extreme injustice of hostile, grandstanding Attorneys General weaponizing the legal system to control people’s lives and bodies. We stand in defense of our doctors doing their jobs, patients seeking healthcare, and against overreach no matter who’s behind it. The Hudson Valley is a beacon of what’s right and just and always will be.”
