Louisiana Wants to Prosecute Another Doctor for Allegedly Mailing Abortion Pills
"extra-territorial mailing of abortion drugs is illegal under state law."
"FDA required an in-person visit with a doctor before dispensing the drugs, my boyfriend would never have been able to obtain the drugs that he made me take."
"is bravely representing many [women] who are victimized by the illegal, immoral, and unethical conduct of these drug dealers."
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill issued a 50-page warrant charging California-based Dr. Remy Coeytaux for allegedly mailing mifepristone to a Louisiana resident. The filing alleges the woman’s partner used her email and mailing address to obtain the pills and coerced her to ingest them during a drive; she says she did so out of fear and intended to vomit later. The state cites extraterritorial prohibition of mailed abortion drugs and has pursued similar actions involving out-of-state providers. The filing and motions do not clarify whether the partner faces charges, while local advocates emphasize alleged coercion as the central harm.
