Louisiana Seeks to Extradite California Doctor for Providing Abortion Pills

HeadlineJan 14, 2026

The state of Louisiana is seeking to extradite a California doctor for providing abortion pills. The extradition order came after Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced the indictment against the doctor, who has been identified as Rémy Coeytaux. This is the second time Louisiana’s Republican leadership have sought to criminally prosecute and extradite an out-of-state doctor over the prescription of abortion pills. Last year, Louisiana indicted a New York doctor, Margaret Carpenter.
