This week’s biggest Winners & Losers
WINNERS:
Shelley Mayer & Karines Reyes -
Unfortunately, the arc of history does not always bend towards the side of justice. Sometimes, it bends backwards, and you get charged with crimes for providing people health care. That's what happened to Dr. Margaret Carpenter, a Poughkeepsie doctor who was indicted by a Louisiana state grand jury for allegedly prescribing abortion medicine to a woman in the state. Thankfully, Gov. Kathy Hochul has now signed legislation from Sen. Shelley Mayer and Assembly Member Karines Reyes to shield the identities of doctors like Carpenter.
