Overview
- The suit names U.S. Marine Christopher Cooprider, international provider Aid Access and its founder Dr. Rebecca Gomperts as defendants in a federal wrongful-death claim.
- The complaint alleges Cooprider ordered a package of abortion pills under his name then dissolved at least 10 tablets into Davis’s hot chocolate on April 5.
- Screenshots of text messages in the filing purportedly show Cooprider pressuring Davis to “get rid of it” and referring to their unborn child in dehumanizing terms.
- Davis began hemorrhaging within 30 minutes of consuming the spiked drink, and the lawsuit says her eight-week fetus, whom she named Joy, did not survive.
- Corpus Christi police have stated there is no active criminal investigation as the civil lawsuit proceeds in federal court.
