Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit accusing a New York doctor of prescribing abortion drugs to a Texas resident in violation of state law.
This lawsuit is the first attempt to test what happens when state abortion laws are at odds with each other. New York has a shield law that protects providers from out-of-state investigations and prosecutions, which has served as implicit permission for a network of doctors to mail abortion pills into states that have banned the procedure.
Texas has vowed to pursue these cases regardless of those laws, and legal experts are divided on where the courts may land on this issue, which involves extraterritoriality, interstate commerce and other thorny legal questions last meaningfully addressed before the Civil War.
Regardless of what the courts in Texas do, the real question is whether the courts in New York recognize it," said Greer Donley, University of Pittsburgh professor who studies these kinds of laws.

reliable transportation, and spouses or partners who may have their own opinions on the matter.
Theres an enormous swathe of women who simply dont have the means to up and leave on their own, for any reason.
Also as soon as Dobbs was passed, Texas began imposing legal measures to keep any woman or girl suspected of pregnancy right where they were in Texas. How would you like to collect a $10,000 bounty? Just be a snitch.
Heres a cartoon from 2022 that says it all:
