Jerry Rodriguez appeared to be<\/span> a deeply aggrieved man\u2014the victim of a scheme orchestrated by his girlfriend\u2019s domineering ex-partner to \u201cmurder\u201d not one, but two, of his \u201cunborn children.\u201d In a filed in Galveston, Texas, last summer on behalf of \u201call current and future fathers\u2026 in the United States,\u201d Rodriguez was portrayed as a devoted boyfriend who accompanied his girlfriend to ultrasound appointments and, eventually, pleaded with her not to go through with abortions that her ex was trying to force her to have.\u00a0<\/p>

Weirdly, the villain in this anguished narrative story wasn\u2019t the girlfriend\u2019s estranged husband, but a California-based provider named Dr. R\u00e9my Coeytaux whom Rodriquez accused of \u201cwrongful death\u201d for allegedly supplying the abortion pills used to terminate her pregnancies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Demanding justice on Rodriguez\u2019s behalf was anti-abortion legal mastermind Jonathan F. Mitchell, who was seeking an injunction to stop Coeytaux\u2014and all other medical providers\u2014from sending pills to Texas, where abortion is banned. This winter, Mitchell amended the lawsuit to incorporate a new Texas law, House Bill 7, that allows private \u201cbounty hunters\u201d to sue abortion-pill providers for at least $100,000 per violation.<\/p>\n

The suit was part of a larger legal strategy by Mitchell, a former Texas solicitor general who has helped craft some of the most radical and punitive anti-abortion laws in the country, including Senate Bill 8, a six-week ban enacted in 2021, and HB 7 itself. Four years after the end of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, abortion pills have become so widely available that the number of abortions across the US has actually risen, with medication now accounting for 63 percent of the total. Mitchell is trying to use the courts to resurrect the Comstock Act, a Victorian-era anti-obscenity, anti-abortion law that has been dormant for decades. If Comstock is revived, it would outlaw the mailing of abortion pills nationwide, amounting to a federal ban.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sympathetic-sounding plaintiffs like Rodriguez are an essential part of Mitchell\u2019s strategy. But a few months after the case was filed, Rodriguez\u2019s story has fallen apart, highlighting just how ineffective Mitchell and his allies have been\u2014so far\u2014in using such lawsuits to push their sweeping anti-abortion agenda.<\/p>\n

According to an investigation by the San Francisco Chronicle<\/em>, at the same time that Mitchell was promoting his client as a symbol of aggrieved fathers-to-be, the Galveston man was evading a felony arrest warrant for allegedly beating up the girlfriend whose abortions he claimed to mourn. In October 2024\u2014a few months before filing his lawsuit\u2014Rodriguez had a violent altercation with his girlfriend at a motel. He allegedly grabbed the woman\u2019s neck as if he was trying to \u201ccrush\u201d it, the article detailed, to the point where she \u201cbelieved she was going to die.\u201d She told police the attack was the eighth time in five months that Rodriguez assaulted her. He then proceeded to slam her to the floor, climb on top of her, and punch and slap her until she finally broke free and escaped, the Chronicle<\/em> said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t Rodriguez\u2019s only alleged incident of domestic abuse. According to police records, he pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman he lived with in 2006 and to harassment for threatening to kill a different woman in 2009, spending a total of two days in jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now attorneys for Coeytaux have asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit, in part due to Rodriguez\u2019s abusive history. As it turns out, anyone who has committed a \u201cfamily violence\u201d offense from suing under the state law, making Rodriguez ineligible to be a plaintiff. In a filed last Thursday evening, lawyers at the Center for Reproductive Rights offer a list of other arguments for why they thinks the suit should be thrown out\u2014including the fact that all the allegations Rodriguez raised against Coeytaux occurred more than a year before<\/em> HB 7 took effect. The law is not retroactive. The attorneys also argue HB 7 has \u201cserious constitutional defects\u201d that violate both the Texas and US Constitutions.<\/p>\n

Mitchell did not respond to requests for comment from Mother Jones<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marc Hearron, a senior counsel at CRR who is representing Coeytaux in the case, draws parallels between Rodriguez\u2019s alleged violence and his lawsuit. \u201cThe decision to have an abortion is a personal, intimate choice,\u201d Hearron says. \u201cWho would have the gall to file a lawsuit over someone\u2019s decision like that and splash it all over the papers, except for someone who intends to further abuse? This is not something an average person would ever do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other legal experts were perplexed at the suit\u2019s apparent conflicts with a law\u2014HB 7\u2014that Mitchell helped write. \u201cThe retroactivity part seems quite obvious,\u201d says David Cohen, a law professor at Drexel University and expert in abortion rights.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most striking aspect<\/span> of the Rodriguez lawsuit is that it\u2019s part of a pattern. In 2023, for example, a Mitchell client named Marcus Silva sued two friends of his ex-wife for wrongful death and $1 million in damages for allegedly helping her obtain medication to end her pregnancy. Then Silva was revealed to have a history of what a Texas Supreme Court justice called \u201cdisgracefully vicious\u201d harassment and emotionally abusive behavior\u2014including threatening to drag his wife to court if she did not have sex with him. The friends countersued, alleging that Silva knew about the abortion and, hypocritically, didn\u2019t do anything to stop it. Silva eventually dropped the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mitchell is coming up against similar issues in yet another , this one against international abortion provider Aid Access and its founder, Rebecca Gomperts. Last summer, a Corpus Christi woman named Liana Davis accused her ex-boyfriend, Christopher Cooprider, of spiking her cocoa with abortion drugs from Aid Access. Davis says she became pregnant in early 2025 but Cooprider \u201cwanted the baby dead.\u201d In text messages included in court documents, Cooprider insisted that the two were not an item and that it would be \u201cmessed up\u201d for them to bring a child into the world. Cooprider, a Marine pilot in training, is now countersuing Davis for $100 million, alleging she framed him and lied about multiple pregnancies and miscarriages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese cases range from messy to downright wild,\u201d says Mary Ziegler, an abortion historian and law professor at the University of California, Davis. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a PR disaster.\u201d The underlying issue, she says, is that Mitchell\u2019s main goal isn\u2019t to win justice for individuals claiming to have been harmed by abortion pills. It\u2019s to use the courts to try to stop the flow of pills nationwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To find plaintiffs who can bring such cases, Mitchell\u2014along with the state\u2019s largest anti-abortion activist group, Texas Right to Life\u2014have been working with religious ministries, crisis pregnancy centers, men\u2019s rights groups and so-called \u201cabortion recovery groups.\u201d But these organizations tend to attract publicity seekers, grudge-bearers, and ideologues\u2014\u201cbasically, people who have enough of an axe to grind to overcome the usual reasons that others might hesitate before opening themselves to this kind of exposure,\u201d Ziegler says. And so the plaintiffs \u201cend up being controlling, abusive, or dysfunctional themselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another weakness of the cases, says University of Texas law professor Rachel Rebouch\u00e9, is that they seek to place the bulk of the blame for abortions on out-of-state pill providers, rather than on the actions of individuals who may have manipulated a woman into getting an abortion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty novel to go after a third party\u2014the pill providers\u2014rather than the person who allegedly coerced you or your partner into ending the pregnancy,\u201d Rebouch\u00e9 says. \u201cThere\u2019s a causation issue here, and it\u2019s not clear to me that it\u2019s going to be an easy argument to make to a judge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

What\u2019s more, the remedy Mitchell is seeking for his wrongful death lawsuits\u2014asking courts to stop abortion-pill providers around the country from sending any more pills through the mail\u2014is wildly overbroad, Rebouch\u00e9 says. \u201cIt\u2019s like filing a physician negligence claim where you ask the court to never allow any doctor to be negligent ever again,\u201d she says. \u201cIt makes no sense.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rebouch\u00e9 sees these wrongful death cases as experiments, akin to other efforts by anti-abortion lawyers and lawmakers around the country to find ways to stop the flow of abortion pills. \u201cMitchell is known for testing out a lot of different strategies and theories,\u201d she says. \u201cHe\u2019s not afraid to try something new and see what works.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Ziegler view, Mitchell\u2019s goal may not necessarily be for his clients to win<\/em>. Rather, his main objective seems to be to elevate the Comstock issue, in hopes of using the courts to force a nationwide abortion ban that the Trump administration\u2014so far at least\u2014has not been willing to put in place. Mitchell has strategically filed his recent wrongful death cases in federal court, where some ultraconservative Trump appointees\u2014notably US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo\u2014have shown themselves willing to issue sweeping national rulings. The Galveston federal judge hearing the Rodriguez case is also a Trump appointee. Mitchell\u2019s ultimate goal is to get a case to the US Supreme Court, where the conservative supermajority might well agree that Comstock is the law of the land.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMitchell may not actually care about what the public thinks about his plaintiffs,\u201d Ziegler says. \u201cAnd no hole in the case may be too gaping with the right audience of like-minded judges.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cohen, for one, is doubtful the strategy will work. \u201cMitchell has been wildly unsuccessful in various attempts to get [courts] to pay attention to the Comstock Act,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to believe yet another misguided attempt of his will succeed this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, <\/span>Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton\u2014an anti-abortion hard-liner who is running\u00a0for the US Senate\u2014has filed a handful of lawsuits also taking aim at out-of-state abortion providers, including Aid Access and Coeytaux. \u201cRadicals sending abortion-inducing drugs into our state will be held accountable for ending innocent life,\u201d Paxton said in a statement this January. \u201cMy office will defend the lives of the unborn and relentlessly enforce our state\u2019s pro-life laws.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Mitchell\u2019s cases lean more heavily on wrongful death and the Comstock Act as avenues to cut off abortion pills, Paxton is targeting shield laws\u2014statutes that make it possible for abortion providers and helpers in blue states to safely care for patients living in places where abortion is illegal. Telehealth care under shield laws now accounts for of abortions nationwide, according to the Society of Family Planning\u2019s most recent data.<\/p>\n

However, Paxton\u2019s suits face their own problems. For instance, his office\u2019s cases against Aid Access and another provider, Her Safe Harbor, run by a nurse practitioner in Delaware, are based on either the organization\u2019s advertisements or news media reports, rather than relying on any tangible proof of patients in Texas actually receiving or using pills. These groups are a \u201cnotorious part of a growing network of out-of-state abortion traffickers that deliberately target Texas residents,\u201d the state claims.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Texas attorney general\u2019s case against Her Safe Harbor doesn\u2019t seem to be based on any real investigation or actual evidence,\u201d says Autumn Katz, interim director of US litigation at the Center for Reproductive Rights. She pointed to another Paxton case filed last year against Texas midwife Maria Rojas, which also involved what turned she called a \u201cshoddy investigation.\u201d \u201cThis seems to be a pattern,\u201d Katz says.<\/p>\n

Paxton\u2019s first attack on an out-of-state provider ended with a strong rebuke: In October, a New York judge dismissed Texas\u2019 effort to enforce a $100,000 civil fine against Dr. Margaret Carpenter, a telemedicine doctor whom Paxton accused of prescribing abortion pills to a Dallas-area woman. Carpenter\u2019s medical services fall \u201csquarely within the definition of \u2018legally protected health activity\u2019\u201d under New York\u2019s shield law, the judge found. The Carpenter case was yet another example of a disgruntled man seeking revenge on a woman\u2019s reproductive choices: The patient was turned in by her ex, who found her abortion pill bottles at her home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEach case is weak factually for different reasons,\u201d Cohen says. \u201cBut all face the same problem\u2014shield laws that protect the provider.\u201d And given that none of the cases involves a woman injured by the pills seeking compensation for that injury, he adds, \u201cthe shield law will hold up and prevent any judgment from being enforced in another state.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Paxton cases are similar <\/span>to others in Louisiana, where Attorney General Liz Murill has sought to extradite both Carpenter and Coeytaux for sending pills to patients in the state. To Brittany Fonteno, president of the National Abortion Federation, these cases all highlight the hypocrisy of abortion opponents who claim that telehealth and mail-order pills enable \u201creproductive coercion\u201d\u2014which they define as disgruntled ex-boyfriends and other bad actors forcing women to get abortions they don\u2019t want. Anti-abortion groups have even created legal resources, like the Justice Foundation\u2019s Center Against Forced Abortions, to reinforce and promote this larger, national narrative.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But ample research shows that women aren\u2019t being coerced in large numbers to have abortions; far more often they are forced to continue pregnancies they don\u2019t want. Meanwhile, survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault frequently report that abortion pills are the very thing that makes it possible to escape their controlling and abusive partners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAccess to abortion, including medication abortion, is critical to the safety and autonomy [of such patients],\u201d Fonteno says. She cites patients like Alissa, a 21-year-old from Texas who was assaulted by her partner. \u201cMy husband raped me when I asked for a divorce and impregnated me in an attempt to get me to stay,\u201d she told NAF. Abortion pills, she said, were her only option, since he also controls her finances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis type of freedom\u2014particularly for women and marginalized communities\u2014is empowering,\u201d Fonteno says. But to anti-abortion extremists, she adds, it\u2019s \u201cterrifying.\u201d<\/p>
