Why did Governor Kathy Hochul reject Louisiana's extradition order related to abortion services?
Governor Hochul rejected Louisiana's extradition order to protect doctors providing telemedicine abortion pill services following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Her decision stems from New York's commitment to women's reproductive rights and the shield law she enacted to safeguard healthcare providers operating legally within New York from prosecution by other states with restrictive abortion laws. This stance reflects the ongoing tension between state and federal powers regarding reproductive healthcare access in America, with Governor Hochul taking a proactive position against measures from states attempting to extend their jurisdiction beyond their borders.
