EXCLUSIVE: New York Prosecutors & Governor are Harboring Abortion Doctor Fugitive
It’s about to be a showdown between a Louisana county prosecutor and the New York Governor over abortion.
In December 2024, I exclusively obtained an email detailing how Queens prosecutors were looking to harbor a fugitive arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The fugitive was described as an abortion doctor with a warrant out of Louisiana. This email was sent to local airport law enforcement before the doctor’s arrival.
The email names Queens ADA Catherine Kane as the leader looking to harbor this fugitive. Kane allegedly contacted JFK airport’s law enforcement to let them know this fugitive would likely be flying in and is protected by the state’s abortion shield laws.
Dr. Margaret Carpenter is now being protected by New York Democrats. A grand juror at the District Court for the Parish of West Baton Rouge unanimously issued an indictment against Dr. Margaret Carpenter.
The New York doctor is accused of allegedly prescribing abortion pills online to a pregnant minor. Louisiana has one of the strictest near-total abortion bans in the country.
Here’s the report from the Associated Press on this investigation:
Last year, the Port Allen, Louisiana, woman requested abortion medication online from Carpenter for her daughter, whose age has not been specified. Clayton said the request was made through a questionnaire only and no consultation with the girl.
A “cocktail of pills” was mailed to the woman who directed her daughter to take the pill, Clayton said.
After taking the drug, the girl experienced a medical emergency while alone, called 911 and was transported to the hospital where she was treated. While responding to the emergency, a police officer learned about the pills and under further investigation found that a doctor in New York state had supplied the drugs and turned their findings over to Clayton’s office.
Under the law, physicians convicted of performing an illegal abortion, including one with pills, face up to 15 years in prison, $200,000 in fines and the loss of their medical license.
The case appears to be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared she would harbor this fugitive yesterday. In a video posted to X, Hochul says that state’s shield laws protect Dr. Margaret Carpenter.
New York Attorney General Letitia James said “we will not allow bad actors to undermine our providers’ ability to deliver critical care…This cowardly attempt out of Louisiana to weaponize the law against out-of-state providers is unjust and un-American.”
Carpenter was sued in December by the Texas attorney general under similar allegations of sending pills to that state. That case did not involve criminal charges.
We have to stay on top of these demonic law-breakers. Thanks Bre!
Thanks for the reporting !!! The state's who defend us and our way of life need to be supported and encouraged. Maybe we should call their AG to applaud and affirm.
