California Gov. Gavin Newsom flatly rejected a demand from Louisiana Republicans to extradite a California doctor accused of mailing abortion medication into the state, escalating a growing interstate clash over reproductive rights. Louisiana officials indicted Dr. Remy Coeytaux under the state’s near-total abortion ban and vowed to bring him back to face decades in prison, but Newsom dismissed the request outright, signaling California’s refusal to cooperate with what it views as politically driven prosecutions. The standoff underscores how abortion medication has become the latest battleground as red states push enforcement beyond their borders and blue states push back.
