A Louisiana grand jury has indicted a doctor from New York for prescribing a resident of the Pelican State an abortion pill, which is illegal in the deep-south state.

Indictments were issued against Dr. Margaret Carpenter, Nightingale Medical PC and the parent of a minor who was given the abortion pill by a West Baton Rouge grand jury, according to a New Orleans radio station. They have been charged with causing an abortion "by means of delivering, dispensing, distributing, or providing" a pregnant woman with an "abortion-inducting drug."
