Texas AG Sues New York Doctor Over Providing Abortion Medications to Texans

A Massachusetts appeals court temporarily blocked a Texas-based federal judge’s ruling that suspended the FDA’s approval of the abortion drug Mifepristone, which is part of a two-drug regimen to induce an abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy in combination with the drug Misoprostol.

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter. She is accused of violating Texas laws by providing abortion-inducing drugs to state residents without authorization.

Dr. Carpenter, based in New York, founded the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine. The lawsuit claims she gave medication to a Collin County resident through telehealth services. This reportedly caused medical complications, leading to the patient’s hospitalization.

Texas law bans out-of-state doctors from prescribing abortion drugs to Texans without a Texas medical license. It also prohibits using telehealth or mail to provide such medications.

The Attorney General’s office seeks to block Dr. Carpenter from further violations. It is also asking for at least $100,000 in civil penalties for each offense.

“In this case, an out-of-state doctor broke Texas law, causing harm to a patient,” Paxton said. “Texas protects the health and safety of its residents. Illegal actions like this won’t be allowed.”

Dr. Carpenter has not responded publicly to the lawsuit.

The case comes during national debates on abortion access and state laws. Texas has some of the country’s strictest abortion rules. These include bans on mail delivery of abortion drugs and requirements for in-person consultations.

Legal experts say this lawsuit could impact how states handle abortion laws across borders. Updates are expected as the case moves forward.
