Newsom tells Louisiana attorney general ‘Go f*** yourself’ over abortion pill prescription lawsuit
Law enforcement shouldn't be political.
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) denounced Louisiana for targeting a California doctor charged with illegally sending abortion pills to the state.
He told Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill to “go f*** yourself” after she sought to have doctors in California and New York, accused of mailing abortion drugs across state lines in violation of Louisiana laws, extradited to Louisiana to face charges. Both California doctor Remy Coeytaux and New York doctor Margaret Carpenter have been indicted on felony charges in Louisiana.
“Louisiana plans to sue me because I won’t extradite a doctor for providing an abortion. @AGLizMurrill: Go f*** yourself. California will never help you criminalize healthcare,” Newsom said in a post to X.
The California governor’s fiery statement provoked a swift reaction from Murrill, a Republican.
“Bless your heart, @GavinNewsom. Killing Louisiana babies isn’t healthcare, nor is shielding California drug dealers. The sovereign State of Louisiana will defend life. See ya soon,” she responded.
Murrill is a co-plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration that centers on Coeytaux. Lead plaintiff Rosalie Markezich alleges her boyfriend at the time used her email address to order abortion drugs from Coeytaux and pressured her into taking the pills. The lawsuit ultimately seeks to require in-person doctors’ visits to obtain abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. Louisiana issued an arrest warrant for Coeytaux in 2024, and he was indicted on Jan. 8 in St. Tammany Parish.
“This is not healthcare; it’s drug dealing. Individuals who flagrantly and intentionally violate our laws by sending illegal abortion pills into our state placing women in danger. We’ve seen the proof of that, with women showing up in emergency rooms after taking these pills and being coerced into abortions,” Murrill said after Coeytaux was indicted.
California isn’t alone in resisting Murrill’s effort to pursue charges against doctors accused of prescribing abortion drugs to women in Louisiana in violation of state law. Democrats Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James of New York have also resisted Murrill’s attempt to see Carpenter extradited to Louisiana to face charges. A West Baton Rouge Parish grand jury indicted the New York doctor last year for providing pills to a Port Allen woman for her pregnant daughter, who was a minor at the time.
