Austria

Hello, the organization is incorporated in Austria. See [1] p.4 Plaintiff Aid Access (“Aid Access”) is a Gesellshaft mit beshränkter Haftung (“GmbH”)incorporated in Austria since December 2018. Cordially,--Msbbb (talk) 13:42, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Aid Access listed as a "non-profit organization" which is incorrect? 69.1.61.195 (talk) 04:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Catgory Category talk:Abortion-rights organizations in the United States includes organizations that do major work in USA

Regarding category Category talk:Abortion-rights organizations in the United States:

Organization Aid Access is heavily involved in abortion access (esp pills) in USA. it is prominently mentioned in US news, e.g.:

"A Dutch doctor and the internet are making sure Americans have access to abortion pills" NBC News David Ingram July 7, 2022, https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/dutch-doctor-internet-are-making-sure-americans-access-abortion-pills-rcna35630

"Women stockpile abortion pills before Trump term" Washington Post Marisa Iati 11 Nov 2024 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/11/abortion-pill-contraception-trump-term/

Especially since reversal of Roe v Wade, the Aid Access organization is very, very significant in US abortion support. 99% of their work is online via internet; so the fact that the HQ of the organization is in Europe is not too significant ... for purposes of this category.

In other words, it seems sensible to define that category as "Abortion rights orgainizations that are headquarterd in USA, OR have major role to play in providing abortion services in USA". Noleander (talk) 16:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that; Aid Access works with doctors in states with legal abortion who prescribe pills to patients; those pills come from US pharmacies, not the Indian pharmacy so that the pills arrive faster. ---Avatar317 ^(talk) 23:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lawsuit

There is a potentially significant lawsuit, Liana Davis v. Christopher Cooprider, Aid Access, and Rebecca Gomperts; see NBC News, New York Times, and CBS. I'm not sure what should be added to this article. If allowed by the courts to go forward against the corporate and third party defendants, it would be to overturn Palsgraf v. L.I.R.R., because proximate cause as now exists would no longer be legal doctrine. This could upend 100 years of precedent. Please discuss. Bearian (talk) 20:46, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The sources look reliable. I can't read the New York Times article. Can you post a sentence here from the New York Times article that mentions aid access? It would be more noteworthy if the lawsuit had come to a conclusion one way or another. But if the new york times is mentioning aid access, I suppose that makes this lawsuit significant enough to mention, even though it's in the early stages. Noleander (talk) 00:37, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I only have a print copy. I'll add a brief summary later this week. I'm working on creating a new list, 1962 in the environment. Bearian (talk) 00:39, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Again, lawsuits such as this about a substantive issue often end up being about broader issues, and can often lead to dangerous outcomes, often not envisioned by the attorneys in the pleadings. Just saying. Bearian (talk) 15:02, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quote from the NYT: "...who she says impregnated her, secretly dissolved 10 pills of misoprostol, a drug used in medical abortions, in a hot chocolate he made for her on April 5....The lawsuit also names Aid Access, a major seller of abortion pills online, as a defendant. Ms. Davis said in the lawsuit that Mr. Cooprider used Aid Access to obtain the pills. The suit named the founder of Aid Access, the Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts, as a third defendant."

My take: I don't think that proximate cause is even going to be litigated here; AidAccess might be liable if they have policies which allow prescribing to males (then there's the trans question); but if the man here falsely claimed to be a woman, AidAccessprobably can likely easily get themselves removed from the lawsuit.

Here's the almost last paragraphs of the NYT article - note that the police can't prove a crime occurred.

"Ms. Davis brought the pill bottles with her to the emergency room and gave them to the Corpus Christi Police Department, according to the lawsuit. The Police Department said a detective investigated the allegations and shared the results with the Nueces County District Attorney’s Office. “After careful review, both agencies concluded that the elements of a crime could not be established, and the investigation was subsequently closed as unfounded,” Madeline Vaughn, a spokeswoman with the department, said in a statement." ---Avatar317 ^(talk) 00:28, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
