A Texas state judge has ordered a New York doctor to pay a penalty of at least $100,000 for prescribing abortion pills to women in Texas, marking a significant win for anti-abortion advocates. The ruling is part of a larger effort to restrict access to abortion services, including online abortion pills and reproductive healthcare. The decision may have implications for abortion laws and women's rights, with potential consequences for healthcare providers and patients seeking abortion care, including medical abortion and reproductive rights.
