Marine 'spikes pregnant woman's hot chocolate with abortion pills' to 'get rid' of their baby
Liana Davis filed a lawsuit against Christopher Cooprider, an Arizona Marine stationed in Corpus Christie, claiming she was "tricked" into drinking the hot chocolate filled with abortion pills
A woman is suing a US Marine after he allegedly spiked her hot chocolate with dozens of abortion pill s, killing their unborn child.
Liana Davis launched legal action on Monday against Christopher Cooprider, an Arizona Marine stationed in Corpus Christie, claiming she was "tricked" into drinking the hot beverage laced with abortion pills.
Davis accuses the Marine of purchasing the abortion pills from an online website, and shared multiple text messages showing the pair discussing the pregnancy. In one text, before Davis took a pregnancy test on January 31, Cooprider allegedly said: "I would like to get rid of it."
When Davis tested positive, Cooprider allegedly said on February 4, "Get rid of it", according to the lawsuit. It comes after a toddler died after a mum "slammed her head on the wall" for "hurting her feelings."
The lawsuit claims to show dozens of text messages between Coopride and Davis, with the Marine insisting the woman get an abortion. However, according to the texts, Davis says she wants to keep her unborn daughter.
'Every time you say 'get rid of it' it's like an electric shock,' she wrote, according to the lawsuit. 'I literally feel like I'm going down the steepest hill on a roller coaster when I read that.'
Cooprider 'repeatedly brought the drugs to Davis's house when he came to visit,' according to the lawsuit. 'All of this disturbed Ms Davis, who disliked having Cooprider's abortion pills in her home.'
On April 2, Coopridger allegedly suggested he and Davis have a 'trust building night', telling Davis, 'I could make us some warm relaxing tea,' according to the texts.
Davis, who was eight weeks pregnant, liked the idea, and Coopridger came to her house on April 5, where he made them hot chocolate he brought from his flat.
Within 30 minutes of drinking the hot chocolate, the lawsuit claims Davis started 'haemorrhaging and cramping'.
Davis needed to go to the hospital but couldn't leave her three children sleeping upstairs, according to the lawsuit. Cooprider said he would pick up Davis' mum, who lived nearby, and drive her to the home where she could watch the kids while they went to the hospital.
But when Cooprider left the house, Davis was unable to reach him. 'I am gushing blood. Please hurry,' Davis texted him around 12:30am.
Davis's mum took an Uber ride to her daughter's house around 1am. Around this time, Cooprider apologised and said he had to catch a flight the next day, according to the suit. A neighbour drove Davis to the hospital, where her unborn baby did not survive.
'Baby Joy died at eight weeks LMP [Last Menstrual Period], murdered by her own father,' the lawsuit claims.
The lawsuit alleged Davis found the box of abortion pills Coopridger had purchased from an online shop.
According to authorities, there are no active police investigations into Cooprider at this time.
