Telemedicine abortions just got more complicated for health providers

Allison Case is a family medicine physician who is licensed to practice in both Indiana and New Mexico. Via telehealth appointments, she's used her dual license in the past to help some women who have driven from Texas to New Mexico, where abortion is legal, to get their prescription for abortion medication. Then came Indiana's abortion ban. (Farah Yousry/ Side Effects Public Media)

Allison Case, a family medicine physician, spends much of her time working in a hospital where she delivers babies and provides reproductive health care services, including abortions.

Case lives and works in Indiana, where a ban on most abortions took effect for a week in late September until a judge temporarily halted the ban. The state has since appealed the judge's order and asked the Indiana's high court to take up the case. Meanwhile, Case is also licensed to practice in New Mexico, a state where abortion remains legal.
