A New York doctor has been issued an arrest warrant after being indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on charges of prescribing abortion pills online to a pregnant minor in the Deep South state. The indictment claims the doctor allegedly made online prescription requests for mifepristone and misoprostol, two medications used in abortion procedures. A grand jury in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, voted to indict the doctor after reviewing evidence from an undercover sting operation targeting individuals who provided online medical services related to abortion. The doctor's arrest warrant has not been issued yet but is expected to be carried out soon.
