California doctor accused of violating Texas’ anti-abortion laws

A lawsuit has been filed in Texas which accuses Dr. Rémy Coeytaux, who is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, of violating the state’s anti-abortion laws by mailing abortion pills. The lawsuit, which seeks $100,000 in damages, claims that Coeytaux provided medication to a woman who terminated her pregnancy after her estranged husband ordered the pills. The suit marks a significant test of Texas’ new law allowing private citizens to sue abortion pill providers.
