Louisiana Illuminator reports that last Friday a Baton Rouge, Louisiana grand jury indicted a New York doctor and her New York clinic for sending abortion pills into Louisiana in violation of a Louisiana statute enacted in 2022. This is the first criminal indictment of this kind since the overruling of Roe v. Wade. The abortion medication was ordered by a pregnant minor's mother who allegedly coerced her daughter into taking the pills. The mother has also been indicted in Louisiana. New York has a shield law designed to protect New York physicians from prosecution by other states for violation of their abortion laws.
