Louisiana’s attorney general is investigating a second case involving New York Dr. Margaret Carpenter after she allegedly prescribed abortion-inducing drugs to a Shreveport woman who was 20 weeks pregnant.

Attorney General Liz Murrill shared details about the case during testimony on Monday for House Bill 575 in the state’s House Civil Law and Procedure Committee. The bill would allow the parents of the aborted baby, or the grandparents or parents of the woman who ingested the abortion pills, to sue “any person who performs, causes, aids, or abets an abortion.”

As Murrill explained, her office and the local police are investigating Carpenter’s alleged ties to an incident in Shreveport involving a woman who was 20 weeks pregnant at the time. The hospital later instructed the couple to retrieve the baby's remains, which the boyfriend did.

“She and her boyfriend, after she gave birth, took the baby, wrapped it in a towel, and threw it in a garbage can,” the attorney general recounted.

If passed, House Bill 575 would make it easier for the state of Louisiana to punish abortion providers who mail abortion-inducing drugs to state residents. According to Murrill, the bill “is another tool in the toolbox for people who are harmed by somebody who is intent on violating our laws.”
