In this powerful episode of Caring for Both, AAPLOG CEO Dr. Christina Francis sits down with Rosalie Markezich, a young woman from Louisiana who bravely shares her personal experience with chemical abortion pills—obtained online and under coercion. Rosalie’s story is not just heartbreaking; it’s a wake-up call about the dangers of unregulated abortion pill distribution. 

Rosalie is now a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit filed by the state of Louisiana and the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) against the FDA, challenging its decision to remove in-person dispensing requirements for mifepristone. Joining her is ADF attorney Gabriella McIntyre, who provides insight into the legal implications of the case and what’s at stake for women and pro-life states across the country.
