Port Allen-Gallest Jury has charged a doctor in New York and her medical practice, along with a local woman, claiming that they have participated in an abortion on the request of a mail that ended a pregnancy of a minor in Louisiana.
Prosecutors claim that Dr. Margaret D. Carpenter of New Palz, New York and Nightingale Medical at the same address sent a drug causing an abortion to a port Alan woman who then gave it to her daughter. WBRZ does not identify the local woman charged to cover up the girl’s identity.
The US Supreme Court in 2022 overturned ROE against Wade, which granted abortion right under the 1973 Constitution. Louisiana had a “trigger law” that made most abortions in the country illegal when ROE was set aside in Dobbs Vs. Jackson Health.
The large hearing, a session in the parish of West Baton Rouge, accuses Carpenter of assisting a crime in Louisiana. Prosecutors said that while the New York Law could offer her protection because of her supposedly sending drugs from that country, the defense would not be applied here.
Prosecutors claim that the girl’s mother, after receiving the drugs, gave her daughter a pill and that the next day the child was left the next day when she had delivered the fruit. It was not clear immediately how far it was during pregnancy.
The accusation is thought to be the first in Louisiana for an abortion to custom mail.
