A Texas judge has indicted a New York doctor for providing abortion pills to patients in Texas, sparking a legal battle between the two states. The doctor, who has not been named, faces charges in Texas for allegedly violating the state's strict abortion laws.

The case centers around a lawsuit filed in New York by the doctor, challenging Texas' restrictive abortion laws. The doctor claims that the laws in Texas make it difficult for patients to access safe and legal abortion services, leading them to seek out alternative options like abortion pills.

This indictment comes amid a nationwide debate over abortion rights and access to reproductive health care. Texas recently passed a law banning most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, setting off a wave of legal challenges and protests.

The doctor's legal team has vowed to fight the charges in Texas, arguing that the doctor was simply providing essential health care services to patients in need. The case is expected to set a precedent for how states can regulate abortion pills and access to abortion services.
