A doctor in New York has been indicted by a Louisiana grand jury for prescribing an abortion pill. Believed to be the first instance where a state has brought criminal charges across state lines for prescribing abortion drugs. Won't be the last, I'm sure.

NY saying they won't comply with extradition requests which likely lands it in front of SCOTUS. Constitution generally requires states to comply with extradition requests from other states, but NY has a shield law protecting doctors from this kind of thing so I expect SCOTUS to strike NY's law down as unconstitutional so they can jail a doctor and create a massive chilling effect across the country.

I'm sure the states' rights crowd will be up in arms any minute now.
