Arrest warrant issued for California doctor in Louisiana abortion pill case
Share this @internewscast.com

Authorities in Louisiana have an arrest warrant out for a California doctor accused of mailing abortion pills to a woman she never spoke with.

According to documents accessed by The Associated Press, Dr. Remy Coeytaux is accused of providing pills to a woman named Rosalie Markezich in Louisiana in 2023.

In her legal statement, Markezich mentions that her then-boyfriend used her email to request medication from Coeytaux and transferred $150 to her, which she subsequently forwarded to the doctor. She asserts that she had no further interactions with Coeytaux.

Markezich states she felt pressured into taking the pills and describes the “trauma of my chemical abortion” as an ongoing distress. She believes such incidents could be averted if telehealth prescriptions for the medication were prohibited.

In Louisiana, where abortions are prohibited during every stage of pregnancy, doctors found guilty of performing abortions can face up to 15 years imprisonment and a fine of $200,000.

Coeytaux is already involved in another legal matter concerning abortion pills. In July, a Texas man lodged a federal lawsuit alleging Coeytaux sent abortion pills to his girlfriend on orders from her estranged husband, as reported by FOX 26 Houston. 

The girlfriend allegedly took the pills in September 2024 to terminate the pregnancy.

Coeytaux did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

Medication abortion has been available in the U.S. since 2000, when the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of mifepristone. In June, the Supreme Court threw out a challenge to the FDA’s expansion of access to mifepristone, ruling that the doctors and groups who brought the case lacked standing. While the Court did not rule on the merits of the challenge, they preserved access to mifepristone for the time being.

A group of 19 Democratic state attorneys general on Monday issued a statement saying that mifepristone is safe and expressing concern over an FDA review, which some Republican attorneys general had called for.

The Abortion Coalition of Telemedicine reiterated in a statement to The Associated Press that the medication is safe and an “essential part of women’s healthcare.”
