The county clerk in a sleepy town finds himself on the frontlines of a national fight over abortion care.  When a New York doctor prescribes abortion meds to a Texas woman, a state's rights fight erupts. Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck is front and center when he invokes the "shield law" to prevent Texas AG Ken Paxton from filing a case against the doctor. 

Produced by Anna Sussman and Zoe Ferrigno. Original score by Dirk Schwarzhoff. 

 Season 16 - Episode 43
