Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has said that she plans to sue California and New York after their governors refused to extradite doctors who prescribed abortion pills to women in her state.

Murrill argued in federal court on Feb. 5 that their refusal was unconstitutional because it failed to honor Louisiana’s abortion restrictions. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose state has passed a law against such extraditions, responded on social media by accusing Murrill of attempting to criminalize health care.
