This story is not an isolated case. Abortion pills are the new tool of those who would abuse, pimp, and traffic women. And they are readily available for purchase.

At ten weeks of gestation, “Annie” (a pseudonym used to protect her safety) noticed a prescribed medication she had been taking was “completely different than yesterday.” In a panic, she had called the police, who found an open case of abortion medications in the apartment she shared with her boyfriend. The person she loved had intentionally poisoned her and her preborn baby.

Annie shared that it had been a normal Monday morning when she arrived home from work. She was weary after a 12-hour shift, but noticed the shape and the color of a prescribed medication were different.

“I was confused and shaken at the idea of someone whom I loved so much not only willing to harm me but plotting to rip away the most precious part of me. The betrayal hit me hard, and I felt a pain indescribable to put into words. Tears streaming my face, I looked up the medication to piece together what was happening.”

And what she found online was alarming. “Every fear I had was confirmed. My boyfriend had swapped every pill out in hopes of me taking them.”

She continued. “A ticking clock sounded in my mind as I raced for the best option to save my baby.” She quickly made her way to the nearest emergency room to save her baby. Sadly, her pleas were not taken seriously. In desperation, she called her own obstetrician, who also refused to help her.

All other local providers as well as E.R. doctors, failed to acknowledge the severity of my situation or didn’t have proper training on reversal protocols.” After a quick search, she was able to find the support and help she needed through the Abortion Pill Rescue Network.

Some may ask – how could this happen when the abortion pill is a prescribed medication? How could a man who is not pregnant obtain many packs of these drugs?

It’s now just as common to purchase abortion drugs online as it is to go to an abortion facility to obtain them. Currently, 50% of the callers to the APR hotline have purchased their drugs online.

With few guardrails left to protect women, websites require little accountability, no evidence of pregnancy, no proof of identity. These are not “telehealth” visits. Most are solely online purchases with no “healthcare” included.

You don’t have to be female to buy an online abortion or confirmation of pregnancy. You could be 4 weeks gestation or 40 weeks, and you won’t be denied. You could have underlying health conditions and still make the purchase. On a variety of websites, you answer a few questions and enter your credit card number, and abortion drugs will be shipped to you very quickly.

This leaves space for what is known as reproductive coercion: using manipulation, threats, or violence to control a pregnancy decision. And in this case, because Annie’s boyfriend no longer wanted the baby, he made a pregnancy choice on her behalf by poisoning her with abortion pills.

Reproductive coercion may include:

• Pressuring a partner to have an abortion she does not want.
• Threatening to leave you if the pregnancy is continued.
• Hiding or destroying prenatal vitamins or medical records.
• Secretly administering abortion drugs.
• Swapping medications.
• Putting pills into food or drinks.
• Lying about what a medication is.
• Controlling a partner’s access to healthcare.
• Monitoring a partner’s phone, internet activity, or communications.

Sadly, Annie shares what it was like to learn about her boyfriend’s crime, “As little girls, we have this idea that monsters are these unrealistic creatures under the bed. But as we grow up, the sad reality is that we’re often sleeping beside the real monsters every night.”

She had thought they were happy and were looking forward to having a child together. She said they were often sharing “I love you’s” and planning their future together.

After a two-year relationship, she learned of the pregnancy and shared that he was not pleased at first and asked her to abort the baby. But Annie was persistent; that wasn’t what she wanted. Surprisingly, he attended all of her ultrasound appointments and appeared to be “coming around” to the idea of having a baby together. Today, Annie shared, “I was sadly and almost tragically mistaken.”

When asked what advice she would give to other women who may unknowingly be in a similar situation, she warns that “with abortion drugs now readily available for purchase online, women should always be aware of your surroundings, trust your gut instincts and know when it’s time to get out.”

Thankfully, Annie acted quickly and found the help she needed at the APRN. She was connected with a local pregnancy help medical clinic where she received abortion pill reversal treatment and the wonderful news that her baby survived and he has a strong heartbeat.

Annie would like to protect others in her shoes, “I urge you – if your partner suggests abortion and refuses to accept your wishes to carry, please seek safety and get a protection order in place. My story is just one of many.”

“Let my story be a reminder today to stay aware and protect yourself and your pregnancy from the vile reality that is sadly becoming more and more common with easily accessible abortion medication.”

Today, Annie’s boyfriend is in jail. She is thankful for a healthy pregnancy, a team of medical professionals who took her circumstances seriously, and a baby boy she will deliver later this year. Unfortunately, Annie acknowledges that other women have not been as fortunate as she was.

“The abortion rescue team helped me when I felt I was running out of time. They helped me reach a provider. I’m sharing this today in hopes of helping the next. Don’t suffer in silence. Help is out there.”

Emerson Evans, 32, of Normal, Illinois, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter of an unborn child as part of an agreement with prosecutors. According to court records, Evans was accused of administering abortion drugs to his pregnant girlfriend without her knowledge or consent, causing a miscarriage.

The case is among a growing number of reported incidents nationwide involving abortion drugs allegedly being used against women without their consent. As abortion drugs have become increasingly available through online distribution, mail-order services, and other channels, reports of coercion, deception, and criminal misuse have continued to emerge, prompting efforts to document and track such cases.

According to court records, the woman told police she had informed Evans of the pregnancy and that he wanted her to terminate it. Witnesses reportedly confirmed that Evans had expressed a desire for her to have an abortion. The woman told investigators she did not want an abortion and had not ordered any abortion drugs. Later, after becoming ill, she sought medical attention.

When questioned by police, Evans initially denied involvement before later admitting he had given her mifepristone, according to court records. Investigators said Evans told police he had purchased the abortion drug for $50 from an individual on a college campus.

Evans was arrested in August 2025 and originally faced three counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, one count of aggravated assault of a pregnant person, and one count of voluntary manslaughter of an unborn child.

At a pretrial detention hearing, Judge Amy McFarland pointed to Evans’ own reported statement to police that he “made the decision for her.” McFarland said Evans took matters into his own hands to “effectuate his beliefs of what should occur in the absence of consent,” adding, “That involved taking a life. That is the broader threat.”

McFarland also noted that abortion was legal in Illinois and that, had both parties wanted an abortion, legal medical options were available. According to court testimony, Evans allegedly administered four mifepristone pills to his girlfriend. The standard abortion pill regimen calls for a single mifepristone tablet followed by a separate medication, misoprostol, at a later time.

Under the plea agreement, McLean County Judge Jason Chambers sentenced Evans to seven years in prison on the voluntary manslaughter charge. The sentence requires Evans to serve at least half of the term. Court records indicate he will receive credit for 285 days already served in the McLean County jail.

The voluntary manslaughter charge, a Class 1 felony under Illinois law, carried a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. Prosecutors dismissed the remaining charges as part of the plea agreement. The more serious intentional homicide charges each carried a minimum sentence of 20 years if convicted.

The case highlights concerns raised by advocates, medical professionals, and law enforcement officials regarding the potential for abortion drugs to be obtained and administered without a woman’s knowledge or consent. Pregnancy help organizations have increasingly reported hearing from women who say they are being pressured into abortions they do not want, while some callers have expressed concerns that abortion drugs may have been administered without their knowledge.

Evans’ conviction is one of a growing number of publicly reported cases involving allegations of abortion pill poisoning, forced abortions, and the nonconsensual administration of abortion drugs. The incident has been added to Pregnancy Help News’ national tracker documenting reported cases from across the United States, a resource created to help journalists, policymakers, pregnancy help organizations, and members of the public better understand the scope of coercion, deception, and abortion drug misuse being reported nationwide.

The American College of Pediatricians (ACP) and American Principles Project (APP) recently released a fact sheet calling on Congress to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. The report argues that taxpayers should not subsidize an organization that performs abortions, promotes gender ideology to children, and faces ongoing criticism over patient care practices.

“This resource provides important facts and information on Planned Parenthood as a leading provider of sex-rejecting interventions, a primary distributor of gender ideology sex education, and a serious threat to patient safety,” the organizations stated in a press release accompanying the report.

Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the US, presents as a non-profit organization with over 50 years of government funding.

“Planned Parenthood has developed itself as a non-profit organization but has a startling annual revenue that exceeds 2 billion,” stated Christa Brown, Senior Director of Medical Impact for Heartbeat International, who oversees the Abortion Pill Rescue Network.

According to Planned Parenthood’s Annual Report, government reimbursements and grants account for nearly 40% of Planned Parenthood’s revenue.

“They have no limits in how they seek funding, charging patients, billing Medicaid, securing grant funding, and soliciting private donors,” Brown said. “Adding sex-rejecting interventions is just another way to bill the American taxpayer.”

Congress must act by July 5, 2026 to prevent Planned Parenthood from regaining federal funding.

ACP was motivated to release this information so that, “With this resource, we hope to inform policymakers and urge Congress to examine important evidence regarding the harms and dangers of Planned Parenthood and remove any taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood because it participates in the harming of minors.”

Executive Director of ACP, Dr. Jill Simons indicated her concern over the funding and added, “With the release of our new fact sheet, we want to present evidence regarding Planned Parenthood’s harmful and life-threatening practices and urge Congress to defund them.”

“It’s important the Congress uses its spending power responsibly,” said Brown. “There is a falsehood that defunding Planned Parenthood would hinder low-income and rural patients from obtaining needed healthcare. But what would be missing? For those who are seeking routine and preventive health needs, there are far better options.”

Dr. Michelle Cretella, Chair of ACP’s Adolescent Sexuality Committee stated, “Some of these [Planned Parenthood] clinics exploit a legal loophole to affirm minors’ sex-identity distress without parental knowledge or consent. Strong concern regarding the irreversible impacts of these interventions has been growing among major health care institutions and is shared by those seeking to protect children, regardless of political affiliation.”

The same pattern of feeding the abortion business side of Planned Parenthood clinics via sex education in schools is extended to their sex-rejecting services.

As stated on the fact sheet provided by ACP and APP, “Planned Parenthood provides resources and curricula for teaching pre-school children as young as 3 years old about transgender ideology.”

The fact sheet noted the serious threats to patient safety with several documented sources including from the co-founder of the first pediatric gender clinic, Laura Edwards-Leeper. She described Planned Parenthood as “‘not equipped’ to provide these services to minors or young adults.”

Planned Parenthood historically has endangered lives and sex-rejecting services is just the latest iteration.

“In every pregnancy there are two lives to be considered, two patients, two heartbeats. Millions of children have died after mothers depended on this organization to guide their choices. Planned Parenthood has long avoided responsibility to care for their patients with beneficence,” Brown explained.

Supporters of defunding Planned Parenthood argue the organization’s financial structure encourages the expansion of abortion and gender-transition-related services, while other healthcare providers are better positioned to offer routine, preventive, and family-centered care.

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and income based clinics provide authentic healthcare. Nationwide, there are Pregnancy Help Medical Clinics providing free, essential life-affirming services.

“The imagined need for Planned Parenthood comes solely from a political agenda, backed by media giants and tech allies, to make abortion readily available,” Brown concluded.

Congress must act to defund Planned Parenthood as the majority of taxpayers do not advocate paying for the ending of human life or sex-rejecting interventions.

Terry Schilling, APP President stated, “We can’t allow our kids to be sterilized and mutilated just so the Gender Industrial Complex can make a pretty penny. True love is stepping into our children’s lives and leading them to the truth: they are perfect just the way God created them.”

Dr Gordon Macdonald, CEO of Care Not Killing, commented: “We are obviously disappointed by this illogical and ideological decision to bring back the a deeply flawed bill. A bill that was so riddled with errors not a single doctors’ group or disabled group supported it. A bill that even before it went to Committee in the Commons saw an important safeguard removed, namely the High Court overseeing each application. A bill that was so poorly drafted even it’s sponsor in the House of Lords had to table 74 amendments.”

He continued: “Trying to introduce an assisted dying law is a complex and technical matter that must not be rushed, because if is, vulnerable people will pay the price with their lives. Indeed when the main arguments are put to members of the public, support for changing the law drops to just 13 per cent. And why polling consistently shows the public would rather Members of Parliament to concentrate on fixing the palliative, addressing the housing crisis, easing the cost of living crisis, tackling immigration and many other issues over introducing a law to allow people to kill themselves.”

Dr Macdonald also went on to highlight the lack of democratic mandate for the Bill, as Labour did not include it in its manifesto ahead of the last election. A recent mega poll by Whitestone Insight for The Other Half group showed that 60 per cent of the public oppose Parliamentary scrutiny being curtailed in both houses to force the Bill into law by use of the Parliament Acts, including a clear majority of Lauren Edward’s own constituents. Indeed, only 34% percent of the electorate voted for Labour at the last election, so the Labour MP would be wrong to suggest that the Labour Government has a democratic mandate to support the bill being forced through by use of the Parliament Acts.

And he concluded by restating the catalogue of problems exposed by the House of Lords in the detail scrutiny they undertook in the last session of Parliament.

Problems include:

● The Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee described the Bill as “skeleton legislation” with “sweeping, unspecified and unjustified” powers given to ministers.

● The Equality and Human Rights Commission said it cannot be guaranteed that access will not be expanded by the courts.

● 23 per cent of people given a six-month prognosis will be alive three years later. Many may end their lives prematurely. Lord Falconer dismissed the error rate as “not massive”.

● The Government will have to divert money from existing NHS budgets to fund assisted dying. Health Minister Stephen Kinnock said that the Government will have to ‘reprioritise spending’ to fund assisted dying.

● The health service will be incentivised to prioritise cheap assisted deaths over expensive palliative care. Lord Simon Stevens, former Chief Executive of the NHS, warned that the Bill is a ‘Trojan horse’ for fundamental change to the NHS by the back door. He warned that it will encourage “self-coercion in the name of altruism” where vulnerable patients might choose to die early out of a misguided desire to prevent their being a burden and ‘protect the NHS’. We have seen reference to this in the most recent Covid inquiry report.

● Doctors, nurses and hospices are inadequately protected. Instead of medics being given the choice to “opt in” to the new system, the Bill assumes they are willing to help end patients’ lives unless they opt out. Hospices and care homes have not been given the right to say they will not participate- which could see them lose funding if they do not. Meanwhile, if medics do participate and say something to a patient that makes them feel pressured to choose an assisted death, even if this is completely unintentional, they could face up to life in prison.

● Children do not need to be told before the life of a parent is ended. Lord Falconer said that parents should not have to tell children, nor do there need to be arrangements made for the child’s care after a parent’s death.

● Those being kept in care homes or hospitals over concerns for their safety or that they are suicidal could qualify for an assisted death. That includes people who are suicidal.

● Those with conditions such as Bulimia and Type 1 Diabetes could qualify for an assisted death. Whilst the anorexia loophole has been acknowledged, Lord Falconer has not addressed other conditions.

● Professional bodies have said the safeguards are inadequate. Organisations ranging from Mind to the British Association of Social Workers have said the safeguards are inadequate. No member of the panel will have the power to access local authority or police records to detect domestic abuse.

● A terminal diagnosis could be given to an elderly person suffering from a combination of frailty and pneumonia. The Government has admitted that a combination of “non-fatal” conditions could result in a terminal diagnosis, representing a very slippery slope to widening the breadth of conditions that might qualify.

● Virtual assessments, which are very poor at spotting coercion, could become the norm. This increases the risk of vulnerable people being coerced into an assisted death.

● The dependents of victims of industrial diseases, such as mesothelioma, could lose out on financial compensation, if their loved one has an assisted death. The Bill breaks the “chain of causation” both required in government legislation and by insurance companies and could leave bereaved families destitute.

● Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy will be able to access an assisted death.

While other jurisdictions have comprehensive rules and processes on pregnancy and assisted death, no consideration has been given to the complexity of this issue in this Bill, nor how the physiological changes will alter the absorption of lethal drugs, potentially leading to a prolonged death.

● Financial considerations could influence a terminally ill person’s choice to seek an assisted death. Lord Falconer noted that such pressures “might well apply because there is only a limited amount of money to go around”. He argued that doctors and review panels should not be required to work out these specific motivations.

● The Equality and Human Rights Committee said the Government has not done enough on safeguarding and coercion. The Impact Assessment focused mainly on access issues.

● The Bill is silent on what drugs will be used to end people’s lives and their regulation. There are no licensed lethal drugs or evidence base within the UK for the use of medication to end people’s lives, meaning any new Assisted Dying system will be entirely reliant on experimental drugs or reliant on the use and protocol associated with death row drugs as used in the execution of prisoners in the US, China and Vietnam.

● The process is not simple or safe, with other jurisdictions, such as Oregon, recording complications in 7% of cases annually, with a peak of 14.8% in 2015.

● The Bill also allows for a future Secretary of State for Health to decide to use other as yet “undefined” substances, such as personalised gas chambers.

Talarico supports full access to abortion. This comes as no surprise. What makes this Democrat so offensive is that he justifies his position with his “devout Christian faith”. While serving in the Texas House, Talarico has been enrolled in the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Among his public statements:

-Jesus and the Bible are silent on abortion.

-Genesis describes human life as beginning with the first breath.

-Trans people need abortion care.

-Humans have six genders, not two.

The Texas Senate battle will be intense, expensive, and highly competitive. Moreover, the seat could determine control of the Senate.

Carencro Police Chief David Anderson said the investigation began on Thursday, May 29, when detectives learned the victim had been given the dangerous abortion pill without her consent.

Detectives continue to investigate the case.

Kelly has been charged with attempted first-degree feticide and domestic abuse/battery of a pregnant victim. Bond has not been set.

SBA Pro-Life America has documented numerous cases of abortion drug poisoning under the Joe Biden rule. Despite strong pro-life laws, at least three known cases have now occurred in Louisiana, where it is a crime to poison women with abortion drugs. Their stories include that of abortion drug coercion survivor Rosalie Markezich, who is suing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for removing in-person guardrails on dangerous abortion drugs.

In addition, Ohio resident Jona Affholder was recently published by the Daily Wire detailing how her ex obtained abortion drugs online using his estranged wife’s information and she awoke to him force-feeding her the drugs. Affholder lost her child and ended up in the hospital.

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser reacted, calling on the Department of Justice to act:

“This horrific abortion drug poisoning caused a mother and child to be rushed to the hospital for an emergency c-section at 23 weeks, with the baby weighing just a pound and fighting for life. Abortion drug poisoning attacks on women and children are always tragic, but they come as no surprise under a mail-order abortion drug regime that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche must end. Federal courts have found the many harms of this Biden-era policy to be predictable and intentional.

“We thank God both mother and baby survived this deplorable attack and pray for their healing. At this moment, that little baby continues to fight in the hospital. Though we do not know the child’s condition, babies born at 23 weeks and even earlier increasingly survive and thrive if given that fighting chance.

“Tragically, 15,000 babies in states with pro-life laws are killed every month as mail-order abortion drugs effectively nullify those laws. These dangerous drugs take a severe toll on women’s physical and mental health and give abusive men an easy tool to poison them against their will, even without their knowledge. We’ve seen it over and over since Biden’s FDA removed in-person medical safeguards.

“Enough is enough. We call on Blanche’s DOJ to settle with Louisiana by agreeing to a court-ordered consent decree that would end Biden’s unlawful mail-order abortion drug policy and restore in-person dispensing immediately while the FDA completes a prompt, rigorous safety review. There is a strong argument that leaving the mail-order policy in place violates federal law, namely the Administrative Procedure Act. It is also politically perilous: 7 in 10 Americans want these deadly drugs out of the mail, and nearly a third of GOP base voters are at risk of sitting out midterms if the GOP abandons pro-life policies. Only immediate action can prevent future crimes before they happen.”

In its ongoing lawsuit, Louisiana argues Biden failed to consider adequate safety data and evaluate the harmful consequences of the policy and instead acted for political reasons after the Dobbs decision, according to HHS Secretary Kennedy’s own testimony to a Senate committee.

Previously the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an immediate halt to the FDA’s policy allowing mail-order mifepristone. The Supreme Court then refused to stop the mail-order abortion drug regime during pending litigation.

New research from the Charlotte Lozier Institute shows 81% of online abortion businesses send mifepristone to kill unborn children far beyond the 10-week timeframe the FDA has established—putting women at increased risk for life-threatening complications. Other CLI researchfound three quarters of ER visits within 30 days after abortion drug use were coded as severe or critical. Two separate, independent studies also found more than 1 in 10 women experience at least one severe adverse event. Complications can include hemorrhaging, infection, sepsis, and even death.

SBA Pro-Life America and its affiliated entities plan to make a $160 million investment to elect pro-life leaders in the 2026 midterm and 2028 presidential election cycles.

The Louisiana inident comes amid heightened national scrutiny of mail-order abortion pills.

The FDA has launched a safety study of mifepristone, the primary drug used in chemical abortions. The review, expected to take about six months, is examining risks associated with the drug, particularly when distributed remotely without in-person medical oversight.

A recent analysis of commercial insurance claims involving 865,727 mifepristone prescriptions from 2017 to 2023. It found 94,605 women — nearly 11% — suffered serious complications within 45 days, including hemorrhage in 3.31% of cases, emergency room visits in 4.73%, and sepsis in 0.10%.

Peer-reviewed research found three quarters of ER visits within 30 days after abortion drug use were coded as severe or critical. Two separate, independent studies also found more than 1 in 10 women experience at least one severe adverse event. Complications can include hemorrhaging, infection, sepsis, and even death.

Other issues encompassed infections, transfusions, hospitalizations and life-threatening events like cardiac problems or anaphylaxis. In nearly 3% of cases, the drug failed, requiring surgical follow-up. Multiple women have died from the abortion pill.

A large national poll found 7 in 10 voters want to roll back Biden’s mail-order abortion drug rule and reinstate safeguards like in-person doctor visits.
