New York is not going to arrest or extradite.

This is going to end up in federal court and possibly the SC.

This is going to be very interesting. First, the actions by this doctor--Margaret "Maggie" Carpenter--means that she will be stuck in New York or other pro-choice states for the foreseeable future. New York will not extradite her. If she came to Louisiana for some reason, of course she would be arrested. But if she goes to other states with pro-life governors, I can envision her being arrested and extradited from those states. If, for instance, she travelled to Florida for a medical conference, I can easily envision her being arrested in Florida and extradited to Louisiana.

Second, I suspect that there is going to be some effort at the federal level to ban the mailing of abortion medication across state lines. Normally this would involve congressional legislation, though with Republicans lacking more than 60 votes in the Senate such an effort is probably doomed to fail due to a filibuster. But imagine if the Trump FDA notes that there are medical complications from these abortion medications in a non-trivial number of cases and bans sending these medications via the mail without its recipient being under the care of a physician. I could envision the FDA taking such action.
