"A warrant for the arrest of a California doctor is a rare charge of violating one of the state abortion bans that has taken effect since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 and allowed enforcement. It represents an additional front in a growing legal battle between liberal and conservative states over prescribing abortion medications via telehealth and mailing them to patients."
"Louisiana said in a court case filed Sept. 19 that it had issued a warrant for a California-based doctor who it says provided pills to a Louisiana woman in 2023. Both the woman, Rosalie Markezich, and the state attorney's general, are seeking to be part of a lawsuit that seeks to order drug regulators to bar telehealth prescriptions to mifepristone, one of the two drugs usually used in combination for medication abortions."
Louisiana is pursuing a criminal case against an out-of-state doctor accused of mailing abortion pills to a resident in 2023 and issued an arrest warrant. The charge is an uncommon violation of state abortion bans that took effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. The case adds to interstate conflict over prescribing abortion medications via telehealth and mailing. Medication abortion pills are the most common access route and helped drive higher abortion numbers last year. A woman named Rosalie Markezich says her boyfriend ordered the drugs using her email and she felt coerced to take them.
