Stephen Doohan, a married paramedic, inserted the drugs inside of her, inducing an abortion.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Stephen Doohan, a paramedic, was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for inserting an abortion drug into his mistress during sex.<\/li>\n<li>The woman noticed white discharge and went to the hospital the next day.<\/li>\n<li>The baby did not survive.<\/li>\n<li>During the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK and the U.S. government (the Biden-Harris administration) allowed the abortion pill to be sent by mail, leading to more cases of men obtaining the drugs to induce abortions in women without their knowledge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Details:<\/h2>\n<p>Thirty-three-year-old Stephen Doohan has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after he was convicted of depositing a drug to cause an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>He was married when he began an affair on a trip to Spain in 2021. In March 2023, he learned that his mistress, who did not know he was married, was pregnant. On March 17, he inserted an abortion drug into her during sex, without her knowledge. According to the judge, &#8220;She felt something hard being inserted into her vagina and believed this was a sex toy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next day, she noticed a white discharge. She went to the hospital and ultimately lost the baby.<\/p>\n<p>In May of 2023, she filed a complaint with the Scottish Ambulance Service, which opened an investigation. That investigation revealed that after learning she was pregnant, Doohan searched the internet for abortion drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Doohan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2025\/jul\/07\/paramedic-jailed-for-10-years-for-secretly-giving-woman-abortion-drug-during-sex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pleaded<\/a> guilty to sexual assault, depositing a drug into the woman, and depositing a drug to cause an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Sentencing Judge Lord Colbeck told Doohan, \u201cYou put her through considerable pain over a number of days, and left her facing a lifetime of pain and loss.\u201d He also said Doohan caused &#8220;long-term psychological injury&#8221; to the woman.<\/p>\n<h2>Why It Matters:<\/h2>\n<p>Doohan is not alone in his successful efforts to secure abortion drugs and slip them to an unsuspecting woman. Stories like these are becoming more common since the abortion pill has become more widely available and easily accessible over the internet. In recent years, after the Biden administration began allowing the distribution of the abortion pill by mail and through retail pharmacies, several similar cases made headlines.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a married father in Washington state <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/married-nurse-forcibly-abortion-drugs-mistress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">faced<\/a> charges of second-degree assault, third-degree rape, tampering with a witness, and more charges after he allegedly inserted several abortion-causing pills into his mistress&#8217;s body during sex.<\/p>\n<p>Another man was <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/man-spiked-drink-abortion-pills-mail-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sentenced<\/a> to 12 years in prison after spiking a woman&#8217;s drink with the abortion pill and killing her baby.<\/p>\n<p>Another man was <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/man-accused-tricking-ex-abortion-drug\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">charged<\/a> with poisoning, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a pregnant person, and assault and battery on a household or family member when he tricked his ex-girlfriend into taking misoprostol \u2014 the second drug used in the abortion pill regimen \u2014\u00a0to induce an abortion. He told her they were iron pills or other vitamins.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line:<\/h2>\n<p>Making abortion more &#8220;accessible&#8221; for women to obtain by mail-order without proof of pregnancy, gestational age, etc., has also made it far easier for predatory or abusive men to obtain. Though cases like this are frequently dismissed by the abortion industry as if they simply aren&#8217;t occurring, it is clear that they are.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion \u2014 and the abortion pill, specifically \u2014 continues to make it easier for a man to use a woman for sex while failing to commit to her or to a child they may create together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><i>Follow Live Action News on <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/\"><b><i>Facebook<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> and <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/LiveActionOrg\/\"><b><i>Instagram<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> for more pro-life news.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man in Scotland has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for slipping his mistress the abortion pill during sex.
