The state had <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/new-york-abortionist-felony-abortion-louisiana\/\">already indicted<\/a> Carpenter for mailing the abortion pill to a Louisiana mother in mid-2024, who allegedly coerced her teen daughter to take the drug. The teen suffered complications during the chemical abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Carpenter is accused of mailing abortion pill drugs to a <em>second<\/em> woman in the state despite the indictment for the first incident. This time, the woman was in the city of Shreveport and was reportedly <strong>20 weeks pregnant<\/strong> at the time she took the abortion pill \u2014 <strong>10 weeks beyond the gestational age approved by the FDA<\/strong>\u00a0for administering the drug.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Liz Murrill shared the information during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2025\/may\/13\/louisiana-abortion-pills-ny-doctor-investigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">testimony<\/a> for a pro-life bill being heard by the House Civil Law and Procedure Committee on Monday. The <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/louisiana-lawmakers-advance-lawsuits-facilititating-abortion\/\">bill would allow people to sue<\/a> an individual or an entity that &#8220;performs, causes or substantially facilitates&#8221; an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>According to Murrill, the woman went into labor after taking the abortion pill regimen and then threw the baby in the trash. Babies born prematurely as young as 21 weeks have survived with medical care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe and her boyfriend, after she gave birth, took the baby, wrapped it in a towel, and threw it in a garbage can,\u201d said Murrill. The couple then went to the hospital. Staff members there instructed them to retrieve the baby, and the boyfriend did so. Local law enforcement is also investigating the situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-lQOooYAs8?si=_BnMssRAvC3COe8f\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Murrill did not say why she believes that it was Carpenter who supplied the abortion pill in this case, but in addition to the other case in Louisiana, Carpenter was <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/judge-fines-ny-abortion-drugs-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fined<\/a> by Texas for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasattorneygeneral.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/press\/Dr%20Carpenter%20Filed%20Petition.pdf\">mailing abortion drugs<\/a> to a woman in <em>that<\/em> state in mid-2024; she also suffered complications.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Guardian, Carpenter co-founded the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine, which did not respond to a request for comment from the news outlet.
