A New York state court is rejecting Texas’ motion to enforce a fine against a doctor for mailing abortion medication to a Texas woman, a move that could accelerate a legal battle over whether so-called shield laws are constitutional.

Texas officials are seeking to force Dr. Margaret Carpenter to pay a $113,000 penalty issued by a state judge after she did not appear in court for a lawsuit over her prescription of abortion medication to a patient in the Lone Star State via telemedicine. The judge also ordered Dr. Carpenter to stop prescribing abortion medication to Texas. Officials in Louisiana are seeking to extradite the doctor to their state to face criminal charges for her prescription of abortion medication via telemedicine..
