A grand jury indicted an Ohio doctor who lost his medical license after allegations that he illegally ordered the abortion pill and then forced his lover to take it.

According to Live Action, Dr. Hassan-James Abbas faces six felony charges after allegations that he illegally ordered the abortion pill and then forced it upon a woman with whom he was sexually involved. The woman’s preborn child did not survive the attack.

In the midst of the allegations, the Ohio Medical Board suspended Abbas’s medical license last month. Abbas, a surgical resident at the University of Toledo, was placed on administrative leave after the license was suspended on Nov. 5.

Live Action News reported last month that the Ohio Medical Board revoked the medical license of Abass.

The Toledo Blade reported on Wednesday that a Lucas County Grand Jury indicted Abbas on six felonies, including felony charges of abduction, unlawful distribution of an abortion-inducing drug, disrupting public services, deception to obtain a dangerous drug, identity fraud, and tampering with evidence.

Live Action reported that Abbas, while separated from his wife, allegedly started a relationship with a woman in October 2024. In December 2024, the woman told him she was pregnant.

During an interview with WTOL, the woman said Abbas displayed “no red flags” until she shared that news with him.

“I just told him that I took a test. I sent him a picture of it, you know, I was happy to talk to him about it and have a conversation. He called me on the phone and was screaming at me, just erratic behavior that I have never seen before,” she recounted.

On December 15, the woman allegedly visited Abbas at his home, where he offered her tea, hot chocolate and food — which the woman described as unusual. On December 18, he again offered her hot chocolate in his home. Later that night, she awoke to find him on top of her, with his fingers in her mouth. She described tasting a powder, which she believes was the abortion pill, according to Live Action.

Live Action reported that the augmented availability of the abortion pill via mail without the need for an in-person doctor visit has made it easier than ever for predacious men to order the pill and then force it upon unsuspecting or unwilling women.
