Overview

• Louisiana court documents say an arrest warrant remains outstanding for Dr. Remy Coeytaux, a California physician accused of sending abortion pills to a Louisiana patient in 2023.
• In a declaration, Rosalie Markezich says her then-boyfriend used her email and address to obtain mifepristone and misoprostol and that she felt forced to take the medication.
• Attorney General Liz Murrill is seeking court orders to bar telehealth prescribing of mifepristone, and her office has not detailed specific charges; Louisiana law allows penalties up to 15 years in prison and $200,000 in fines for physicians who provide abortions.
• Coeytaux also faces a separate Texas civil lawsuit filed in July alleging he supplied abortion pills to a woman there, and Texas has issued a cease-and-desist notice to him.
• The warrant emerged in filings tied to Louisiana’s move to join multi-state litigation challenging FDA approvals, as blue-state shield laws—seen in New York and California—complicate efforts to pursue out-of-state providers.
