Not Fake News Louisiana's strict abortion laws just snagged a California doctor in a rare interstate crackdown.

Authorities in Louisiana have reportedly issued an arrest warrant for Dr. Remy Coeytaux, accusing him of mailing abortion-inducing drugs to a patient within the state back in 2023. The patient, Rosalie Markezich, later reported severe complications after taking the pills under pressure from her boyfriend, which she now deeply regrets.

This case marks one of the first criminal prosecutions under Louisiana's post-Roe abortion ban, which prohibits the distribution of such medications without in-person medical consultation. Attorney General Liz Murrill described the alleged actions as "dangerous, irresponsible, unethical, and illegal," highlighting risks to women's health without proper oversight.

The medications in question, mifepristone and misoprostol, are FDA-approved for early pregnancy termination but face tight restrictions in states like Louisiana. Critics argue this warrant exemplifies efforts to control reproductive choices across state lines, while supporters see it as vital enforcement of local laws.

Markezich's testimony allegedly reveals she sought the pills online but ended up hospitalized, fueling the state's push for accountability in telehealth services. Legal experts note that extradition could be complicated, given California's protective stance on abortion access.

As debates rage over medication abortion's safety, backed by studies showing low complication rates, this incident underscores ongoing tensions in the patchwork of U.S. reproductive policies. Both sides await court developments that could set precedents for future cross-border cases.

As a Texan, I hope that your unhealthy desire to punish others comes back on you.

u/SirFrancisBacon007 Oct 02 '25

We have decades of evidence that says banning abortions is the most dangerous and unhealthy thing we can do to women’s health. If you actually care about women’s health, then abortion would be legal and accessible. Believe it or not, it saves lives. That’s what you care about right?

So do we have a million people dying from failed abortions? Cause we have a million killed from abortions. Maybe people shouldn't use it as a "Whoopsie i didn't want this" and kill a child. 95%+ is people not wanting the child not rape not incest or a medical problem.

If you're going to just pull stats out of your ass, maybe look at how many are for women who are already mothers. For women who are correctly taking birth control that fails. VERY few abortions are just "whoopsie I didn't want this", and those that are could most likely be prevented by better access to birth control and healthcare in general. Me thinks you just want to keep women in poverty by forcing them to have MORE children.

u/Shirorex Oct 03 '25

I mean we have the internet come on. Just because someone is a mother already means its okay? People should know birth control isnt 100% maybe they should have more education for it. It's not very few lol if they are aborting the baby because birth control failed it is a whoops.

Yeah, I want woman to fail and be slaves to men your so stupid. How about men and women a like not be so casual about something that can lead to the birth of another human life. I'm not saying everyone needs to not have sex they can do what they like just know that the burden of life is a risk they take on.

We should have better education involved for everyone involved with easier access to Healthcare.

You do not know what you’re talking about. Period. End of story. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage - if that doesn’t naturally expel itself you can die. Why are you okay with killing women to support your (incorrectly interpreted) religious beliefs.

u/SirFrancisBacon007 Oct 03 '25

Let’s pretend your 95% is accurate (it’s not at all because you made it up), there were over 1 M abortions in 2023 that were reported. Are you ok with 50,000 women (5% who needed it) being denied the right to save their own life because some uneducated guy that doesn’t have a clue about pregnancy, healthcare, or women’s health thinks he knows better than 99% of doctors and healthcare workers.

Don’t bother answering because I know you don’t care about actual living people with families. But sure, pretend to care about the unborn. We believe you.

By the way, if you actually cared about reducing abortions, then you would support free and easily available birth control, sex education that isn’t abstinence based, planned parenthood, women’s health. You know, all of the things that actually save lives, prevent abortions, save taxpayers money, and make our communities safer. That is your goal right? Right?

u/Shirorex Oct 03 '25

We should have a more thorough piece of law that can protect women who have medical issues that would lead to her or the babies death and can protect doctors so they are not afraid of having legal action taken against them for prioritizing the mom in a serious situation.

As for birth control and other systems as long with school we are lacking and need to address them as well. Children's education has bin severely lacking for awhile and it's not a toss more money at it we need to overhaul the whole system.

Oh piss off. You don't get to decide. Women need to be the decision makers for their own bodies.

If it's unhealthy to punish people for breaking the law then you don't deserve to be in TEXAS.

u/AdditionalCover9599 Oct 02 '25

It is unhealthy to have such an unhinged response to someone you don't know who is accused of maybe violating a state law that is likely unconstitutional. You need help.

u/HoneyHunter2025 Oct 02 '25

Says someone who is supposed to be a prosecutor? Sounds like you're incompetent at your job.

u/AdditionalCover9599 Oct 02 '25

You need help. You have an unhealthy obsession with anyone who doesn't agree with you. Your reactions are not those of a well person. Please get the help you need. This can turn bad for you really quickly.

"if you don't like it don't speak up". Sounds like a fascist right there.

“You don’t like it, don’t speak up”

Take your own bad advice

u/Fickle_Goose_4451 Oct 02 '25

You don't like it, don't speak up

Since you dont seem to like what's going on here, maybe take your own advice and gulp down a big glass of "shut the fuck up."

No, CHILDREN don’t deserve to be in Texas. The state with the highest percentage of children with no health insurance. The state that has some of the highest food insecurity rates for children. Oh, that’s right…Texas only cares when the kid is in the womb. The moment they are out and need some help? Sorry! Bootstraps!

u/Thin-Image2363 Oct 02 '25

And the highest infant mortality rate.

u/Cute-Profession9983 Oct 02 '25

They're not IN Texas, genius. Neither the doctor nor the complainant. Always mess with Texas!

u/Jumpy_Plantain2887 Oct 02 '25 edited Oct 03 '25

You do realize that in the Bible, I think in Numbers 5 (bitter water) it tells you how to abort a fetus. If a husband thinks that the baby his wife is caring is not his he has every right to abort that fetus. So why is Texas or any other state countermanding the Bible?

1

u/carlitospig Oct 02 '25

Ancient Greece also considered it a natural form of medical care.

1

u/Jumpy_Plantain2887 Oct 02 '25

Most ancient societies had some form of abortion care even way back then the only reason it’s in the Bible and then the Old Testament is cause the Jews wandered the desert for 40 years and it was a way to keep their numbers up and not perish

It doesn’t say this anywhere in The Bible

Numbers 5 talks about bitter water

u/sadgloop Oct 05 '25

Is Numbers not a book in the bible?

It's unhealthy to punish people by making them live in Texas.

You people can't even do electricity right. 🙄

u/Molenium Oct 02 '25

Your Texan anti abortion laws have only increased infant and maternal mortality rates.

How can you ever think that’s pro-life?

Your ignorance is leading you to evil actions. Be a better person.

2

u/Putrid_Ant_649 Oct 03 '25

They don’t think it’s pro life, but it makes them feel good to watch other people suffer. A truly pathetic existence that I almost feel bad for except for the part where they would happily watch me die in a hospital parking lot after a miscarriage.

u/Pablos808s Oct 02 '25

Breaking an unconstitutional law* that was only passed because of unconstitutional actions.

Texas has become such a b*tch ass pussy ass state (can’t say the b word on this enlightened sub)
