RIGHT SPEAK: Prepare For Doctors To Smuggle Suicide And Trans Drugs Into Red States Like Abortion Pills: State Shield Laws Protecting Abortion Providers Set a Dangerous Precedent — Doctors Could Mail Other Dangerous Drugs Across State Lines

Prepare For Doctors To Smuggle Suicide And Trans Drugs Into Red States Like Abortion Pills:

State shield laws protecting abortion providers set a dangerous precedent — doctors could mail other dangerous drugs across state lines.

Doctors such as Margaret Carpenter of New York have leveraged shield laws to mail chemical abortion drugs to women in states where the drugs are now illegal. Shield laws have been subverted since the overturning of Roe v. Wade and could expand to protect doctors mailing other dangerous drugs, such as for assisted suicide.
By prescribing chemical abortion drugs to women in states where providers are not licensed, the doctors are practicing outside the scope of their licensure. They violate longstanding medical ethics as well as the sovereignty of pro-life states.

New shield laws, originally enacted to protect journalists, now protect abortionists from criminal and often civil liability by prohibiting state law enforcement and other officials from assisting in investigations related to the abortion restrictions of another state. Arrests, extradition, and the sharing of evidence are all off the table when it comes to protecting abortion.

Currently, 22 states and D.C. have shield laws protecting doctors providing abortion to women from other states, with eight of those states including explicit mail-order protections.

Shield Laws for Assisted Suicide, ‘Transgender’ Surgeries

The United States is a patchwork of other bioethical laws. While the American Medical Association has largely opposed physician-assisted suicide, more states are legalizing the practice within their state. The practice is currently legal in 11 states and Washington, D.C. In New York, the euphemistic “Medical Aid in Dying Act” still sits on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk.

Patients seeking assisted suicide often “doctor shop” by traveling out of state to find a provider willing to prescribe lethal drugs. Abortion shield laws could serve as a model to protect such doctors willing to prescribe assisted-suicide kits across states lines. Individuals facing terminal illness — or abusive family members, partners, and other caretakers — would be only an envelope away from accessing these deadly drugs.

Similar concerns surround legal restrictions on medical marijuana and cross-sex hormones. Potential shield laws for doctors who enable chemical castration and other “transgender” medical interventions pose a serious threat to parental involvement laws.

While there are not yet shield laws protecting doctors wishing to provide assisted-suicide kits or medical marijuana to out-of-state patients, currently 18 states and D.C. have already begun protecting “gender-affirming care” through legislation or executive order.

Many of these states include broad protections “regardless of patient location,” though some intentionally do not include language specific to mail-order or telehealth provision of hormones, daring this broad-reaching language to be challenged in its applicability. --->READ MORE HERE
