Gov. Kathy Hochul reiterated her stance on reproductive freedom, after a New York doctor was indicted for prescribing abortion pills online to her patient in Louisiana.

“Prescribing safe abortion medication is legal under the laws of our state and our reproductive health laws, which began enacting even before the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and which I have since fortified by signing our shield laws, explicitly prohibiting me, or any future governor, from honoring this request,” she said.

The governor is referring to a letter from Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, which is asking her to extradite the doctor who is wanted on an arrest warrant.

Hochul says she will not be signing this extradition request.

NewsChannel 13 asked the Attorney General’s Office in Louisiana if there are next steps from their side to battle this. They said, “not at this point.”
