Approved in 2022, the state law banned obtaining abortion drugs from out of state and causing an abortion through medication. Penalties in Louisiana range from one to five years in prison, and $5,000 to $50,000 in fines.
But New York has a law in place to shield doctors who prescribe abortion medication to patients in other states.
