A Baton Rouge-area grand jury indicted a New York doctor and a Louisiana mother Friday on felony charges for allegedly providing an illegal abortion with drugs obtained through the mail.
It is the first criminal case of its kind in the country since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, which triggered Louisiana’s strict abortion ban.

Is this going to be the new Fugitive Slave Act, dividing the country in a way free states are unwilling to tolerate?
What I’ll be interested in seeing is how they can prosecute a doctor and the patient’s mother for use of a legal product under federal law.
I won’t be holding my breath waiting to see how the federal Department of Justice steps up to defend federal law.
Technically, the law would not be under attack. It would used as a defense to get the charges dismissed.
I hear you. Let me rephrase: I seriously doubt Trump’s DoJ will request those charges be dismissed.
It's a state case I think.....????
