Overview

• Liana Davis alleges Capt. Christopher Cooprider secretly dissolved mifepristone and misoprostol into her hot chocolate on April 5, causing hemorrhaging and the loss of her eight-week pregnancy.
• The lawsuit names Europe-based Aid Access and its founder Dr. Rebecca Gomperts for supplying the pills without the plaintiff’s consent in violation of state and federal statutes.
• Davis submitted screenshots of text messages showing Cooprider’s months-long pressure campaign to “get rid of” the pregnancy and handed pill packaging to Corpus Christi police.
• Corpus Christi Police Department reports no active criminal investigation into Cooprider and the Marine Corps says it is treating the matter solely as a civil case.
• This case joins a broader wave of litigation testing conflicts between state abortion bans, shield-law protections for providers and revived uses of the Comstock Act.
