The State Medical Board of Ohio suspended Abbas’s medical license, citing clear evidence of wrongdoing that poses immediate harm to the public.[1][2]

Incident Details

Hassan-James Abbas, a 32-year-old former surgical resident at the University of Toledo Medical Center, began dating his pregnant girlfriend in October 2024 after separating from his wife. On December 7, 2024, she informed him of the pregnancy. Abbas urged an abortion, but she refused. He then ordered mifepristone and 12 misoprostol pills using his ex-wife’s name, birthdate, and driver’s license number without her permission.[1][2][6]

On December 18, 2024, Abbas crushed the pills into powder. While his girlfriend slept, he climbed on top of her, held her down, and forced the substance into her mouth. She awoke, escaped, and attempted to call 911. Abbas seized her phone and ended the call. She drove to a hospital, where doctors confirmed the medication terminated the pregnancy.[1][2][3][9]

Legal Proceedings and Plea

A Lucas County grand jury indicted Abbas on December 3, 2024, on six felonies: abduction, tampering with evidence, unlawful distribution of an abortion-inducing drug, disrupting public services, identity fraud, and deception to obtain a dangerous drug. Abbas drove around afterward, discarding remaining pills from his car window.[1][2][7]

In May 2026, Abbas pleaded no contest to four charges—disrupting public services, unlawful distribution of an abortion-inducing drug, identity fraud, and deception to obtain a dangerous drug. This plea accepts the prosecution’s facts for sentencing without admitting guilt, exposing him to up to five years in prison. Prosecutors dropped the abduction and tampering counts. Sentencing is set for June 24, 2026. Abbas claimed to investigators the girlfriend consented, but no evidence refutes her account of force.[6][7][8]

Medical License Suspension

The State Medical Board of Ohio suspended Abbas’s license on November 5, 2025, via summary suspension, upheld by final order based on clear and convincing evidence. The board deemed his actions create immediate serious harm to the public. Abbas cannot practice medicine, perform surgeries, or treat patients. A hearing occurred May 14-15, 2026. He must refer patients elsewhere.[1][2][3]

Hassan-James Abbas has pleaded no contest after being accused of pinning down his pregnant girlfriend while she slept and forcibly shoving crushed abortion pills into her mouth and gums.
I'm sure something will be forced into him in his prison cell.

Abbas faces arraignment restrictions, including no victim contact and passport surrender. His conduct parallels reproductive coercion patterns, where partners force abortion decisions, rising post-Dobbs amid telehealth pill access. This case underscores dangers of unregulated abortion drugs mailed across states, threatening family values and unborn life that conservatives champion under President Trump’s pro-life stance.[6][10]
