Texas Woman Sues Marine for Spiking Drink with Abortion Pills

BREAKING: A Texas woman has filed a shocking lawsuit against a U.S. Marine, alleging he secretly spiked her drink with 10 abortion pills without her consent. Liana Davis, from Corpus Christi, Texas, claims that Christopher Cooprider, her neighbor, forced her to undergo a procedure she did not want after she rejected his demands to terminate her pregnancy.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on April 5, 2023, accuses Cooprider of impregnating Davis and then drugging her with abortion-inducing medication sourced from the non-profit organization, Aid Access. According to the suit, Cooprider, who is currently stationed in Corpus Christi, obtained the drugs in a calculated attempt to manipulate Davis after she repeatedly rebuffed his pleas.

Davis’s legal team argues that Aid Access knowingly violated both state and federal laws by mailing abortion pills to Texas. The organization, run by Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts, claims to operate legally by working with providers in states where abortion is permitted, thus shielding them from prosecution in states like Texas, where abortion is heavily restricted.

This disturbing case began to unfold with a series of text messages between Davis and Cooprider, starting on January 31—before she even knew she was pregnant. As the texts reveal, Cooprider pressed Davis to terminate the pregnancy, stating, “If it’s positive, we need to schedule a clinic visit and get an abortion pill asap.”

Davis discovered her pregnancy on February 4, after which Cooprider’s demands intensified. She described feeling traumatized by his repeated insistence to “get rid of” the baby, which she found deeply distressing. The suit details how the situation escalated when Cooprider ordered pills online and encouraged her to take them without her consent.

On April 5, the situation took a harrowing turn. Cooprider invited Davis to watch television, leading her to believe he had accepted her decision to keep the child. However, he used this opportunity to lace her hot chocolate with the abortion pills. Davis claims that shortly after consuming the drink, she began hemorrhaging and cramping, indicating a medical emergency.

In a frantic attempt to seek help, Davis and Cooprider decided to get her mother to watch her three sleeping children while they went to the hospital. However, once Cooprider left, he allegedly stopped responding to Davis’s calls, leading her to realize the gravity of his actions.

After returning from the hospital, Davis found the open box of abortion pills and reported the incident to the Corpus Christi Police Department. As of now, there is no active investigation involving Cooprider, according to police statements, and the Marine Corps has not yet commented.

This lawsuit raises critical questions about consent and the legality of abortion access in the U.S. as the nation continues to grapple with reproductive rights. The emotional toll on Davis is profound, with her legal counsel emphasizing the psychological trauma inflicted by Cooprider’s actions.

As this case develops, it underscores the urgent need for conversations around consent, reproductive rights, and legal protections for women facing coercive situations. Davis’s story is a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding these issues, and it is sure to attract widespread attention as more details emerge.
