Governor Kathy Hochul supported the clerk&#8217;s decision, condemning Paxton&#8217;s actions as political bullying and reaffirming New York&#8217;s commitment to protecting abortion providers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">New York clerk rebuffs Texas over fine against abortion doctor<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2173768\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square) &mdash;&nbsp;A<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> New York <\/a>county clerk has again refused to certify a civil judgment issued by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/texas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Texas<\/a>&lsquo; attorney general against a New York doctor accused of sending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/abortion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">abortion<\/a> pills to the state.<\/p>\n<p>For several months, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been trying to get New York court to enforce a $113,000 civil fine against&nbsp;Dr. Margaret Carpenter, who practices north of New York City.

The state also bars physicians from treating patients or prescribing medicine through telehealth services unless they are licensed to practice medicine in Texas.

The ruling also permanently banned Carpenter from prescribing abortion-inducing drugs to Texas residents and from practicing medicine in Texas without a license and registration.<\/p>\n<p>New York is one of several Democratic-led states that passed so-called &ldquo;shield&rdquo; laws blocking physicians that perform abortions from prosecution by other states in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned federal protections for abortions.<\/p>\n<p>Gov.
