Overview

• Capt. Christopher Cooprider filed a detailed countersuit in federal court denying Liana Davis’ allegation that he secretly dosed her hot chocolate and seeking the dismissal of her wrongful‑death claim.
• His filing argues Davis fabricated the accusation to influence legislative action, while Davis’ complaint cites text messages, an April 5 encounter, and an emergency visit after heavy bleeding that she says ended an eight‑week pregnancy.
• Davis’ lawsuit also names Aid Access and its leader, Dr. Rebecca Gomperts, alleging abortion pills were obtained from the online service; Cooprider says he ordered pills earlier at Davis’ request, a claim her attorney disputes.
• Corpus Christi police said their investigation into Davis’ claim was closed as unfounded and that prosecutors agreed elements of a crime could not be established, and the Marine Corps confirmed Cooprider’s active‑duty status.
• Cooprider seeks monetary damages and says he would donate any award to the Wounded Warrior Project, as lawmakers send House Bill 7 to the governor to enable private lawsuits of at least $100,000 per alleged mail‑order pill violation; Davis is represented by Jonathan Mitchell, who helped craft the bill and the earlier SB 8.
