(LIFESITE NEWS) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued a New York-based doctor for allegedly unlawfully providing abortion-inducing drugs to Texas residents in direct violation of state law.

“Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter, a New York doctor and founder of the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine, unlawfully provided a Collin County resident with abortion-inducing drugs that ended the life of an unborn child and resulted in serious complications for the mother, who then required medical intervention,” according to a press release from AG Paxton’s office about the case.

“Texas laws prohibit a physician or medical supplier from providing any abortion-inducing drugs by courier, delivery, or mail service,” the press release adds, noting that doctors are also prohibited from prescribing Texas residents drugs through telehealth services without a valid Texas medical license.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
