An Ohio surgeon is accused of stuffing crushed abortion pills into his pregnant girlfriend’s mouth while she slept, k!lling her fetus.
Hassan-James Abbas, a 32-year-old surgical resident at the University of Toledo, was able to easily obtain the abortion-inducing pills from a telemedicine doctor by using his estranged wife’s name, according to officials. He then forced the medication into his girlfriend’s mouth last year, according to officials.
“He got on top of me and put his fingers in my mouth,” his girlfriend told WTOL 11.
“I laid there and I went back and forth in my head [wondering] if he was gonna k!ll me,” she added. “That was my biggest thought, that he was going to k!ll me.”
She survived, but she told the station that that the medication ended her pregnancy.
Abbas had been dating the woman for just two months when she learned that she was pregnant in December 2024. But after taking a pregnancy test and sending him the result, thinking it would be good news, she said he called her back “screaming.” It was during that phone call that she learned for the first time that he was married but separated.
He tried to persuade her to get an abortion, but she wanted to keep the pregnancy, according to documents from the State Medical Board of Ohio obtained by the Daily Mail.
The following day, Abbas got Mifepristone and Misoprostol, from an abortion telemedical provider out of state in his wife’s name, the records said.
Abbas’ girlfriend, who was due to give birth in August, 2025, began complaining of nausea days after revealing her pregnancy. On the night of Dec. 18, she terrifyingly woke up to Abbas holding her down and forcing a “crushed powder inside her bottom lip, beside her gums,” the filing from the medical board said.
“She fought to get away and ran to the kitchen where she called 911,” the document said.
He held her down and forced her to listen to his explanation for half an hour before she drove herself to the emergency room and claimed she had been assaulted. At the hospital, she learned that her pregnancy had been terminated.
“[Patient] was held down by the neck by s3xual partner after telling him she had a positive pregnancy test. [Patient] states that he forced an unknown substance into her mouth. She shoved and scratched him off her and got away at kitchen,” the medical board said.
She was treated at the hospital for vaginal bleeding.
In July 2025, Abbas confessed to researching the drugs he ordered online and using the wife’s information to get them, according to the Medical Board.
“[Abbas] admitted to crushing the abortion medication for it to dissolve more quickly. You stated that you adjusted the medication administration and did not follow the instructions,” the documents said. However, he claimed that she agreed to take the drugs.
Abbas’ medical license was suspended after the board found he had violated several Ohio medical codes. He was also charged with abduction, tampering with evidence, unlawful distribution of an abortion-inducing drug, disrupting public services, identity fraud and deception to obtain a dangerous drug, all felonies.
He was indicted on Nov. 5 and is scheduled to be arraigned on Dec. 19.
