Texas Man Faces Lawsuit After Allegedly Using Abortion Pills to Harm Partner
A significant lawsuit was filed against a leading online abortion provider on Monday. The case involves a Texas man who allegedly used abortion pills acquired from AID Access to contaminate a drink intended for the mother of an unborn child, resulting in the child’s death and the mother being hospitalized.
The lawsuit claims, “Christopher Cooprider murdered Lyanna Davis’ unborn baby by secretly mixing abortion pills into the hot drink that Davis consumed.” It further alleges that Cooprider obtained these drugs from AID Access, described in the suit as a “criminal organization” that improperly sends abortion medications to Texas and other areas.
Named as defendants in the case are the organization’s founder, Dr. Rebecca Gonpert, as well as Cooprider himself.
Text messages presented in the lawsuit reportedly show Cooprider pressuring Davis regarding an abortion. In one exchange, Davis expressed her disapproval: “Yeah, I’m not ok with you buying something like that without my permission. It’s not a benign purchase.”
Cooprider allegedly ordered a pill from Aid Access in his name, and a photo related to the case was sent to him on February 11, 2025. According to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation, AID Access is one of five organizations that has distributed pills without verifying pregnancies or engaging in discussions with a medical professional. Since its establishment in 2018, the group has reportedly facilitated over 200,000 online abortions for women in the U.S.
AID Access has not yet responded to inquiries concerning the lawsuit.
Davis asserts her intention to proceed with the lawsuit, while the complaint states that Cooprider left the abortion drugs at her residence after a visit. Allegedly, when Davis indicated she wished to keep the baby, Cooprider suggested preparing a calming tea. However, he took it a step further and added abortion pills into a hot chocolate on the evening of April 5, 2025.
Approximately thirty minutes after consuming the drink, Davis experienced severe symptoms, including “bleeding and convulsions.” While Cooprider assured her that he would check on her three children during her hospital visit, he left and failed to return.
The lawsuit claims that Davis has come to the realization that Cooprider poisoned her and her unborn child with the abortion pills, and that he misled her to delay her seeking medical help. More than an hour after Cooprider departed, Davis informed him that she was in the hospital, but he did not reply to her message.
This incident follows a similar case in June, where another Texas man, Justin Anthony Banta, was charged with capital murder for allegedly spiking his girlfriend’s drink with abortion pills.
