A woman miscarried and, being suspicious, had her blood tested where they found abortion drug RU-486. She alerted the sheriff who arrested her boyfriend. She doesn't know when she might have ingested it so I'd argue they might not have a case but it's an interesting case nonetheless.
This is just a naked form (if you'll pardon the pun) of what men often do when their girlfriends get pregnant — i.e., force them to have abortions, whether covertly or openly, using threats. A side of abortion the pro-choice people don't want you to see, the seedy underbelly, as it were.
Gotta love that photo though of the accused. A trance-like, faraway look. Does not improve his looks, that's for sure. (I wonder if there is a rule against smiling for your mug shot, or if it's merely custom [and foul mood] that binds nearly everyone to avoid it.)
According to the missive that alerted me to this, but not stated in the above article, the man faces multiple felonies, including first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child.
