The Spin
Republican narrative
Hochul shouldn't be allowed to do this. Many states have passed pro-life laws to protect unborn children and their mothers. Laws like New York's shield protections are meant to sidestep these common-sense regulations, which also apply to abortion pills — a method whose safety has been called into question by several medical groups.
Democratic narrative
This extradition request is unconstitutional. Everyone should be worried that one state is attempting to punish a doctor from another state for providing safe and effective medical care. New York's shield laws exist to protect healthcare providers from this very type of politically motivated prosecution.
