An Ohio surgeon who allegedly forced abortion pills into his sleeping girlfriend’s mouth, killing their unborn child, now faces a maximum of just five years in prison after accepting a plea deal that dismisses the most serious charges against him.
Brutal Attack at Toledo Home
Hassan-James Abbas allegedly carried out the attack at his Toledo residence in 2024 after his girlfriend, also his patient, told him she was pregnant and refused his repeated abortion demands. Prosecutors say Abbas used his estranged wife’s personal information to order mifepristone and twelve misoprostol pills online. In the days before the assault, he offered his girlfriend hot chocolate and tea—gestures notably inconsistent with their relationship pattern, according to the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office.

Forced Administration While She Slept
While the victim slept, Abbas allegedly climbed on top of her, held her down, crushed the abortion-inducing drugs into powder, and forced the substance into her mouth and beside her gums. The woman woke during the assault, fought back, and attempted to call 911. Abbas reportedly grabbed the phone and ended the call. She eventually escaped and sought emergency medical treatment at a local hospital. The unborn child did not survive. A Lucas County grand jury indicted Abbas in 2025 on six felony charges including abduction, tampering with evidence, and identity fraud.
Controversial Plea Deal Reached
Earlier this month, Abbas entered a no-contest plea to four charges: unlawful distribution of an abortion-inducing drug, disrupting public services, identity fraud, and deception to obtain a dangerous drug. The more serious charges of abduction and tampering with evidence will be dismissed at sentencing. Abbas now faces a maximum of just five years in prison and fines up to fifteen thousand dollars.
Prosecutors Address Trust Violation
Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney Julia Bates stated that doctors must uphold the highest standards of integrity and not abuse others in such unacceptable ways. She emphasized that doctors hold positions of trust and respect in the community, and this conduct represented a serious abuse of that trust. The conclusion of this case will likely never alleviate the trauma experienced by the victim and others who learned about it. Students for Life president Kristan Hawkins argued that until the nation demands accountability for chemical abortion abuses, pill vendors and abortion businesses will continue to win while mothers and babies lose. Sentencing is scheduled for June.
