this was my exact thought process as I went through the proposed complaint. surely, if they're seeking such extraordinary relief at a FEDERAL level - literally, crossing state lines, and making the cliched 'federal case' out of this plaintiff's injury, they MUST have gone after that terrible, no good, very bad boyfriend - right?? wrong (as far as i can tell - and i've gone back, again, and looked). it's so aggravating!
Attorney General races typically do not get enough attention. The VA & NJ races this Nov are important. If you can help, please consider it. Any Republican atty general (currently in VA) that can be defeated weakens the Rs Natl Atty Gen group who is wielding a lot of anti-choice power these days.
Yes to elections, generally, but New Jersey is different. Our governor appoints our attorney general -- we don't elect our AG in NJ. So it's even more important that we elect the democrat candidate, Mikie Sherrill. Otherwise we're really screwed.
It seems to be a reoccurring theme for this regime to take a very real issue that hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves like coercive control/domestic violence and pretend to solve it by making you more unsafe while touting that it’s for your protection. Tricksy tricksters
We stand at a crucible moment in health care, human rights, and medical professionalism. Across the country, states aligned with ideological agendas are actively targeting abortion providers, ourselves included — deploying laws, regulatory coercion, criminal threat, public stigma, laws chipping away at protections, and narrative campaigns to redefine our work as criminal or immoral rather than medical. Yet in every corner, we continue to serve patients because we know this: access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, is a core component of justice, dignity, and medical ethics. Come and get us. Oh yeah—they already are.
Forced pregnancy has always been a weapon in the toolbox of abusers — a way to trap, control, and silence victims. Abortion access, by contrast, is a lifeline. It offers not just health care, but the possibility of escape, autonomy, and survival. When lawmakers strip away that access, they side with abusers and against victims. Banning/denying abortion strengthens the hand of every abuser who wants to keep women under their control.
When do we expect to see the partner if the coerced patient charged with criminal activity? If he forced her to seek care, request, then take the medication, when will he be charged with a crime?
If the partner actually "coerced" them they are the guilty party, yet I see no charges against them, oh, right, because it is all bullshit.

I’d be really upset if my “drug dealer” only brought me abortion pills and not anything that actually got me high and feeling good/cozy.

Cannot help to think these people are being paid off to make these cases.
They usually are, why else would they lie their ass off?
We’re smarter. All of us together.
We know they are creating “patients” to order medicine with the sole intent of coming after us.
there must be an attorney smarter and more clever than Mitchell
Agreed. Pondering a way to get around this tactic. Gotta be smarter than them. Hmm 🤔

Great question. There going after the wrong entity! But we know that. Displaced blame as usual 🤨
My thoughts exactly! It’s the partner doing the coercion, not the dispensing physician. Grrrr…😡
