O, how I wish this was true. The state House of Representatives is tied and the win was in an overwhelmingly DFL district.

Why isn’t anyone terrified about the ineffectiveness of sanctuary laws to protect doctors and others in the face of the Extradition clause in the constitution and Supreme Court precedent?

Shield Laws don’t protect reproductive health service providers from criminal prosecution by another state. I fear for the NY doctor indicted in LA. Extradition between states is both Constitutional & codified under federal law. See Puerto Rico v. Branstad. See also: The Fugitive Slave Act.

I’m asking other lawyers if they can come up with an answer to this question: In light of the extradition clause can anything stop Louisiana- or any state - from extraditing doctors charged with providing abortion medicine from their home states if indicted?
