Texas Attorney General Paxton sues New York county clerk over abortion ruling
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) is taking legal action against a New York county clerk for refusing to file a judgment and court summons against a doctor who allegedly prescribed and mailed abortion medication to a woman in Texas.
Paxton’s office has submitted a petition seeking a writ of mandamus to force Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck to enforce the judgment against the doctor and ensure she pays the Texas penalty, according to a statement.
Bruck confirmed to The Hill that the attorney general’s office has tried to file documents related to the case.
Paxton sued New York doctor Margaret Carpenter in December for allegedly violating Texas’s abortion ban after she prescribed and mailed abortion pills to a 20-year-old Texas woman.
