An Ulster County clerk in New York refused to file a judgment exceeding $100,000 from Texas against a doctor accused of prescribing abortion pills, citing the state’s Shield Law.
“In accordance with the New York State Shield Law, I have refused this filing and will refuse any similar filings that may come to our office,” acting Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck said in a prepared statement, adding that he cannot say more as this “decision is likely to result in further litigation.”
