A Texas man has been indicted after prosecutors say he secretly gave his pregnant girlfriend abortion medication without her knowledge, resulting in the loss of the pregnancy.
According to investigators, the suspect allegedly crushed pills, mixed them into a drink, and gave it to the woman, who later became seriously ill and was hospitalized.
He now faces two first-degree felony charges:
• Inducing an abortion
• Intentional injury to a child
Authorities say the case could become one of the first prosecutions under Texas’ abortion-related criminal statute.
The accused has denied administering the medication and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
