Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) denounced Louisiana for targeting a California doctor charged with illegally sending abortion pills to the state.
He told Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill to “go f*** yourself” after she sought to have doctors in California and New York, accused of mailing abortion drugs across state lines in violation of Louisiana laws, extradited to Louisiana to face charges. Both California doctor Remy Coeytaux and New York doctor Margaret Carpenter have been indicted on felony charges in Louisiana.
“Louisiana plans to sue me because I won’t extradite a doctor for providing an abortion. @AGLizMurrill: Go f*** yourself. California will never help you criminalize healthcare,” Newsom said in a post to X.
The California governor’s fiery statement provoked a swift reaction from Murrill, a Republican.
“Bless your heart, @GavinNewsom. Killing Louisiana babies isn’t healthcare, nor is shielding California drug dealers. The sovereign State of Louisiana will defend life. See ya soon,” she responded.
