A Kentucky man has been indicted for fetal homicide after authorities say he replaced his pregnant girlfriend’s prescription medication with an abortion drug.

Abdullah Mohmand, 27, faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of attempting to kill her unborn child.

WBKO reports:

“The victim told investigators she was worried about her unborn child after discovering her prescription medication had been replaced.

“After executing a search warrant, KSP [Kentucky State Police] found the medication that matched her description and later confirmed it was Misoprostol. The indictment stated that Mohmand exchanged her prescription with Misoprostol, ‘with intent to cause the death of her unborn child.’

“According to the FDA-approved labeling Misoprostol is a drug that can cause abortion when taken during pregnancy.”

Misoprostol is part of the RU-486 abortion drug regimen.

Mohmand is scheduled to be arraigned September 28.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration first approved abortion drugs like RU-486 nearly 26 years ago, and in 2022 the agency loosened its safety protocols to make the drugs available by mail. But since becoming available by mail, we have heard stories about women who were coerced into taking abortion drugs or given the drugs secretly, without their consent.

The pro-life organization 40 Days for Life has produced a summary of some of those horror stories at 40daysforlife.com/scumbags.

Abortion drugs hurt women and kill unborn children. A recent study by the experts at the Ethics and Public Policy Center found abortion drugs are much more dangerous than policymakers previously thought.

That’s why Family Council has joined with other groups to oppose these dangerous drugs.

In May, Family Council sent a letter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas respectfully asking the office to enforce federal law as it applies to mail-order abortion drugs.

We have partnered with pro-life organizations in an amicus brief asking a federal court to block mail-order abortion drugs nationwide, and we joined a coalition of 83 state and national pro-life leaders urging acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche to stop mail-order abortion drugs.

In June, we also launched a grassroots effort in Arkansas calling on the Trump administration and members of Congress to end former President Joe Biden’s dangerous mail-order abortion policies and restore the FDA’s safety protocols.
