Louisiana charges California doctor Remy Coeytaux with felony abortion drug mailing, violating state law.
Remy Coeytaux, a doctor from California, has been charged with a felony in Louisiana for allegedly violating state law in 2023 by mailing abortion-inducing medications to a woman in the state without conducting an in-person examination.
Criminal abortion using drugs carries a maximum 50-year prison sentence.
The pills were allegedly ordered online, paid for electronically, and shipped from California, according to the prosecution.
Rosalie Markezich, a woman, described the experience as traumatic in her testimony, saying she felt coerced into taking the medication.
Despite California's shield law protecting providers, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has called the actions "drug dealing," not healthcare, and has asked for Coeytaux's extradition.
The case is a part of a larger legal campaign by Louisiana and other states that prohibit abortion to contest mail-order abortion services and out-of-state telehealth.
