The Democratic Party is so obsessed with promoting abortions that the New York government is going to the mat for a doctor who helped kill a teenager’s unborn child against her will in a different state where abortion is illegal.

The legal feud playing out between Louisiana and New York shows just how committed the Democratic Party is to its sacrament of abortion.

In January, officers received a 911 call from a girl under 18 who was apparently dealing with a miscarriage, according to West Baton Rouge District Attorney Tony Clayton. It was determined at the hospital that she had taken abortion medication, which is illegal in Louisiana.

According to Clayton, the teenager had apparently planned a gender reveal party and did not want to get an abortion. The teen’s mother, who allegedly ordered abortion pills from New York and gave them to her daughter, has been charged with violating the state’s abortion ban. Louisiana also charged the doctor who provided the pills with “criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and Attorney General Letitia James are both boasting that the doctor will not face consequences for knowingly sending illegal abortion pills to Louisiana and having a baby killed against the will of the mother. Hochul, in fact, has vowed to “do everything I can to protect this doctor and allow her to continue the work that she’s doing that is so essential.” New York has “shield laws” in place that allow its doctors to send abortion pills to states where the pills are banned under the protection of the New York government.

Not content with widespread legal killings of unborn children in its own state, New York’s legal regime protects doctors who outsource these killings to states with abortion bans. It does not matter in this case that the mother of the child did not want an abortion, nor that these abortion drugs are dangerous if their usage isn’t monitored by a professional, as was clear with the death of Amber Thurman in Georgia.

The Democratic Party’s obsession with abortion has no limiting principles and takes a back seat to nothing. Hochul and New York Democrats are enthusiastically cheering the exportation of abortion to states that have banned it and to women who don’t even want it. And they will continue to do so as long as these “shield” laws are allowed to stand by the Supreme Court.
