Jonathan Mitchell, a Texas lawyer known for his anti-abortion stances, represents Jerry Rodriguez in a lawsuit against California doctor Remy Coeytaux. The lawsuit, filed in Texas federal court, accuses Coeytaux of wrongful death for mailing abortion pills to Rodriguez's girlfriend. Rodriguez seeks a preemptive order blocking Coeytaux from sending mifepristone, citing a violation of the dormant Comstock Act. Mitchell has previously supported various lawsuits aimed at restricting abortion access, often targeting women and those seeking abortions with legal harassment.
Mitchell's actions have been characterized as targeted harassment against women and pregnant individuals, aiming to instill fear about self-managing abortions or traveling for abortion care.
The lawsuit claims that a doctor is liable for wrongful death due to allegedly mailing abortion pills, in violation of the dormant Comstock Act.
