Dr. Margaret Carpenter is a zealot for killing unborn children.
Luckily for Carpenter, the post-Dobbs age of abortions via telemedicine has enabled her to build up an extensive kill count.
Carpenter, who provided abortion pills remotely from New York, joined the ranks of the most prolific abortionists in history by shipping off abortion pills, in an unknown but undoubtedly large number, to places where abortions are illegal or severely limited.
A serial killer is going to be limited in his ability to kidnap women to kill. A nurse secretly killing babies might reach a higher kill count with greater ease. But an abortionist operating from the comfort of her own home — slippers on, feet up on her desk — can kill unborn children indiscriminately.
Last year, a woman desiring to end the life of her unborn child could simply fill out an online form on the site Aid Access, and “Dr. Maggie” — as she is known by her abortion activist compatriots — would be happy to be her hitman. Within days, pills dispensed by Dr. Maggie that would bring about the child’s death would arrive at the woman’s home.
Now, however, “Dr. Maggie” is facing trouble with the law. She was indicted this year for allegedly providing a Louisiana woman with abortion pills. The state says that the woman, wanting to end the life of her unborn grandchild, used “coercion” to make her teenage daughter take the pills. The girl was sent to the hospital as a result of the bleeding she experienced. Louisiana’s governor, Jeff Landry, noted that the teenage girl had even been planning a gender reveal party before the unhappy new grandmother took action. Further, Landry said the woman “conspired” with Carpenter “to get a chemical abortion pill in the mail.” (RELATED: Enforce Comstock: End ‘Mail-Order’ Abortions)
According to the indictment, the Louisiana woman obtained the pills from Dr. Maggie through the abortion-dispensing mill she worked with, Aid Access. The site only requires that people fill out an online form to get abortion pills shipped to them — and their identity is not checked. (RELATED: Abortion Drug Black Market Is Booming.

The form process means that anyone, regardless of whether they are pregnant, can receive abortion pills if they answer the questions the “right” way.
The form process means that anyone, regardless of whether they are pregnant, can receive abortion pills if they answer the questions the “right” way. Any unhappy fathers — or grandmothers — can easily obtain the pills in order to eliminate any undesired children or grandchildren. This can be accomplished by browbeating a pregnant mother with the pill bottle or sneaking the medication into her food or drink. (RELATED: The Unspeakable Evil of Christopher Cooprider)
Carpenter has been charged with “criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs,” which is a felony. The crime is punishable by one to five years’ imprisonment.
Yet New York Governor Cathy Hochul has refused to extradite Carpenter to Louisiana, apparently viewing as laudatory Carpenter’s illegal and entirely blind dispersal of abortion pills to this unhappy grandmother.
In a video announcement, Hochul said, “I do not recognize this request and will sign my rejection. That’s what we stand for. That’s who we are as New Yorkers.”
That sets up a legal battle that could go to the Supreme Court. Pro-life states are pushing for this, given that blue states are wielding so-called “shield laws” to refuse extradition orders, seemingly in violation of the Constitution’s Extradition Clause.
But the legal battle over Carpenter goes further than this case.
Carpenter was also sued in December by Texas for allegedly providing abortion drugs to a woman who ended the life of her unborn baby. When the woman went to the hospital for severe bleeding, the father of the child was shocked to learn that his child, whom he had not known about, had been killed by drugs allegedly dispensed by Carpenter.
*****
What explains why Carpenter has gone to such lengths to abort so many children? Why is she motivated to bring about so much death in spite of the legal risks it brings upon her?
Carpenter’s life tells the story of a woman assured of her own moral superiority and who has long performed and promoted abortions to stroke that ego.
As an undergraduate at Brown University, she was already fixated on promulgating the practice of unborn child killing. She volunteered in those days for Planned Parenthood before soon heading to medical school and shortly picking up surgical as well as medical abortions. Dr. Maggie proudly proclaimed in one bio of herself that she had been performing both surgical and medical abortions by the close of the 20th century.
Alongside her work ending the lives of unborn children, Maggie founded the organization Go Doc Go to provide women in poor African countries and Haiti with screenings for cervical cancer and HPV tests. One bio attributed the founding of the organization to Carpenter’s “passion for global health,” but, put in the context of her decades-long drive to kill unborn children, one gets a sense that this is a woman who views herself as worthy of transforming the world according to her own vision, a vision in which women should have a godlike power of life and death over their unborn children.
Dr. Maggie is extremely connected with the most devout members of the pro-abortion movement. And she has acted with determination to use her power and connections to do everything she can to share with new mothers this power to bring about death.
The year Roe v. Wade was overturned, she co-founded, along with two other leaders of the movement, the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine Access. The advocacy organization’s purpose is to make abortion pills available via telemedicine in states where abortion is illegal. It does not provide abortions, but it equips doctors with the tools to do so, including by providing them with malpractice insurance.
One of Carpenter’s co-founders, Julie F. Kay, told Glamour magazine before Carpenter’s indictment that the organization’s goal is “to pass, protect, and expand safe, legal, and accessible telemedicine.” She said they founded the organization because they felt the “traditional reproductive rights organizations” weren’t doing enough to ensure women in states where abortion is illegal or restricted could receive abortion pills.
Additionally, Carpenter helped launch the organization Hey Jane, which advertises itself as providing women abortion pills “from the comfort and convenience of your phone.”
So here we have a woman who is religiously devoted to causing more unborn children to die at the hands of their mothers. It is disturbing. Yet Dr. Maggie is perfectly proud of herself and convinced she is the one saving the world. She basks in the attention of her friends, who deem her a hero.
“She’s brave, she’s creative, she’s an advocate, she’s kind, she’s fun, she’s a problem solver, and addresses things in ways that are just innovative and new,” her friend Ingrid Frengle-Burke told CNN. “That, to me, makes her a hero.”
“I know Carpenter as ‘Dr. Maggie,’” said another woman praising the abortion doctor. “She has been a hero of mine for a long time, but not just for standing up for people’s rights to reproductive health.”
Dr. Maggie is a general of the pro-abortion movement with a kill count of unborn children that rivals history’s biggest serial killers. How she can surround herself with friends who deem her a hero, saving women all over the world, even as she wreaks this destruction, seems maddening, but it is a warning of how evil thrives when masquerading as righteousness.
It remains to be seen whether Dr. Maggie will face consequences for her actions in this life, but Louisiana and Texas are certainly going to try.
