A Texas man is suing a California-based doctor for prescribing and mailing abortion drugs to his girlfriend, resulting in the deaths of their two children.
Jerry Rodriguez has accused Dr. Remy Coeytaux of illegally mailing abortion drugs into Texas, aiding in illegal abortions, and prescribing abortion drugs without a Texas medical license—a felony offense according to Texas law.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Southern District of Texas, states that Kendal Garza, upon discovering her pregnancy with Rodriguez in July 2024, planned on carrying their baby to term.
However, Rodriguez alleges that upon pressure from her estranged husband, Adam Garza, who ordered the abortifacient drugs, she ended the pregnancy.
A $150 Venmo payment was made from Adam Garza to Coeytaux with a transaction description of “Aed axes Kendal Garza.”
Suggested by Rodriguez in the filing, “Aed axes” possibly refers to a homophone for “Aid Access,” a non-profit organization that unlawfully mails abortion drugs across state lines.
