Kentucky man indicted on attempted fetal homicide charge
A Kentucky man has been indicted on a charge of first-degree attempted fetal homicide for allegedly replacing his pregnant girlfriend's medication with an abortion drug, without her knowledge.
Abdullah Mohmand of Kentucky has been indicted on first-degree attempted fetal homicide for allegedly replacing his pregnant girlfriend's medication with a drug that can induce abortion.
The woman told police that her progesterone pills were replaced with another drug, and she was worried about her baby.
She said Mohmand had previously instructed her to have an abortion.
An empty misoprostol bottle and a FedEx package, addressed to the woman but sent to Mohmand's apartment, were found by police.
Misoprostol is the second drug used in the abortion pill regimen, meant to cause contractions and expel the preborn child.
Mohmand is scheduled to be arraigned on September 28.
According to reports, Abdullah Mohmand, 27, faces a Class B felony for allegedly swapping out his girlfriend's medication with misoprostol, the second drug of the abortion pill regimen. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the baby.
If convicted, Mohmand faces up to 20 years in prison. He is also charged with violating a protective order, and is not to have any contact with the woman.
The unnamed woman went to the local hospital on May 25, telling doctors that her prescribed progesterone, which supports the developing preborn child by maintaining the uterine lining, had been replaced with misoprostol.
Women with a history of miscarriage who have early pregnancy bleeding have often been prescribed progesterone in an effort to increase the chances of a live birth.
She told Kentucky State Police that Mohmand had demanded she have an abortion, saying that his family in Afghanistan would kill him if she were to have his baby. She expressed that she feared for her baby after noticing the pills were switched.
According to Detective Aaron Hampton, in a search of Mohmand's apartment, police found an empty bottle of misoprostol and directions on how to use it to cause an abortion. They also located the FedEx envelope that the drug was shipped in to his apartment using his girlfriend's name.
Increased access to abortion drugs under the Biden Administration has made it possible for people with ill intentions to order the drugs online and then trick or force a pregnant woman into taking them.
As Mohmand allegedly did, men can order abortion drugs and then secretly administer them to the baby's mother, killing the baby (and hoping she thinks she's having a miscarriage). This story is not an outlier. Other cases include:
April 2022: Jeffery Smith was sentenced to 20 years in prison — five years of initial confinement followed by 15 years of extended supervision — as part of a plea agreement after he was convicted of attempted first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child. He had used mifepristone and misoprostol to spike the water of his child’s mother, who was 21 weeks pregnant at the time, because she refused to have an abortion.
February 2024: Mason Herring pleaded guilty to injury to a child and assault of a pregnant person for attempting to induce an abortion by drugging his wife Catherine’s drink several times using misoprostol. It was the couple’s third child, and she was born 10 weeks early with developmental delays. Herring was sentenced to 180 days. “I do not believe that 180 days is justice for attempting to kill your child seven separate times,” Catherine Herring said. He was later sentenced to eight years in prison for violating his probation.
December 2024: Stuart Worby was sentenced to 12 years in prison after spiking his mistress’s drink to cause an abortion at 15 weeks using pills supplied by one of the UK’s largest abortion businesses, The Gynae Centre. After his mistress made it clear she did not want to have an abortion, he crushed the mifepristone — the first drug of the abortion pill regimen — into orange juice, which she drank as they spoke about what his involvement would be in the baby’s life. He then deceptively inserted misoprostol — the second drug in the abortion pill regimen — inside her vaginally during sex.
May 2025: Robert Kawada was charged with misleading a woman into taking misoprostol under the guise that he was giving her iron supplements and vitamins.
July 2025: David Benjamin Coots pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, tampering with a witness, and fourth-degree assault for forcing an abortion drug into his mistress without her knowledge during sex. She went to the emergency room with heavy bleeding, and the pills were discovered inside her. Her baby did not survive.
July 2025: Stephen Doohan was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for inserting an abortion drug into his mistress during sex. The woman noticed white discharge and went to the hospital. Her baby did not survive.
August 2025: A Texas woman filed a wrongful death lawsuit against abortion pill Aid Access and Christopher Cooprider after her baby died as a result of being drugged with the abortion pill. Cooprider secretly dissolved the abortion pills into a beverage and then tricked the woman into drinking it. He got the pills from Aid Access, which illegally ships the abortion pills into US states.
Mohmand is scheduled to be arraigned on September 28.
His attorney, Johnny Bell, is arguing that the progesterone and misoprostol do not resemble each other, making it impossible for the woman not to notice that her pills had been switched.
He also argues that it is unlikely that if Mohmand had been planning to force an abortion on her, he would not have left out the instructions on how to do so.
