Seems wildly unethical on so many fronts. Prescribing this type of drug with no physical consultation seems to go against common sense at the least.

This is going to be interesting. Where the doctor presides and from where she prescribed it, it's legal. Where the person getting the prescription resides and where she received it, it's illegal.

The drugs then are sent across state lines using the mail, so I have to think this ends up being a federal matter.


So I could buy weed from Colorado and have it shipped to my house in Georgia where it's not legal, and nobody can be charged with a crime in Georgia because it's federal jurisdiction?

What happens if you practice medicine in a state you are not licensed in? Regardless of the abortion stance, by prescribing the mother the prescription over the phone/mail; could this be viewed as practicing medicine in LA without a license?

Its going to be wild to see the political schism play out through legal means at the state level across the country.


The doctor has to be licensed in Louisiana in order to prescribe a drug for someone physically located here and the drug to be obtained here - even if it is telemed or "online." It's like that in pretty much every other state too. Although some have a telemend law that allows doctors in immediately adjacent states to prescribe in that state even if they arent licensed there.

If they prescribed a drug in Louisiana for a Louisiana then they have to go by Louisiana laws.

The way the article reads the mother should be charged with murder

What kind of crazy lady would force her daughter to abort her grand daughter

Pro-"choice" advocates are all in favor of abortions anywhere, anytime.

Well this one is a slam dunk. The minor didn't wish to have an abortion apparently. Examples need to be made in this instance, of the mother and the doctor.

I will be completely honest, I don’t know.

I’m an ER physician.

I don’t do prescriptions outside of that or telehealth.

I do not know the legal aspect of this.

This drug is supposed to be used within a certain timeframe of early pregnancy. That is why pregnancy staging used to be a prerequisite for being prescribed this medication. Telemeds for drugs that are time sensitive is not good practice.

This could be an interesting dilemma faced by tossing this type of case

Yeah it sure seems like this abortion drug that they told us was super safe causes a lot of severe reactions

I think a lot of people may be confusing the PlanB which is taken the morning or so after, with the abortion pill which is actually abortive. I think the difference between the two types of medication is intentionally muddled to rile up the public.

How are we charging a doctor who never had to set foot in LA to do what she did… seems like that’s overreach. If what she did was legal where she did it there’s nothing we can do

This is stupid. You can only practice medicine in a state you’re physically in. You’re not practicing medicine in a state you’re not in. The patient using telehealth would be like any patient who lives across state lines and visits a doctor in that state (and we’d be dumb to criminalize that because people cross state lines for care for legitimate reasons)

Could I be charged with sending a 30 round magazine to someone in New York if they bought it from me even though they are legal in Louisiana?

My question was a rhetorical response to another poster thinking they knew jack shite about law.
