A New York doctor was indicted by a Louisiana grand jury for allegedly prescribing an abortion pill online in a state with one of the strictest abortion bans.

The case is one of the first direct challenges to shield laws enacted in blue states that protect providers who prescribe abortion pills to out-of-state patients.

NY AG Letitia James condemned the Louisiana indictment of a NY doctor for providing abortion care, emphasizing her state's defense of reproductive rights.
