Ken Paxton sues New York doctor accused of prescribing abortion pills to Texas woman (www.texastribune.org)

This lawsuit is the first attempt to test what happens when state abortion laws are at odds with each other. New York has a shield law that protects providers from out-of-state investigations and prosecutions, which has served as implicit permission for a network of doctors to mail abortion pills into states that have banned the procedure.

Say it together again, folks...

Conservatism strives to build a system where there is an in-group, which law protects but does not bind, and out-groups which the law binds but does not protect.

I think this is not conservatism, but a bunch of crooks, holding power in the state, who play to the most radical elements to shore up their theft of state funds.
