CONROE, Texas — A grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas, handed down an indictment against a man accused of secretly providing abortion medication to a pregnant woman, resulting in the death of her unborn child. The man could face up to life in prison if convicted under the new Texas abortion law.
Montgomery County District Attorney Mike Holley announced this week that 25-year-old John Ruben Demeter faces charges of illegal performance of an abortion and injury to a child after he secretly provided abortion medication by crushing the pills and mixing them into the woman’s drink. He allegedly ordered the abortion pills online and had them shipped to his home, Fox 26’s Karys Belger reported.
“We believe this is the first time in the state of Texas it has been used to prosecute anyone in the state,” Holley told reporters while discussing the state’s new abortion statute.
