Unwanted Abortion: Man Slips Misoprostol to Woman with Wanted Child

By Wendy Wright | May 16, 2013

A woman is suing her boyfriend for tricking her into taking misoprostol to kill her unborn baby. Here is the lawsuit filed in Florida.

Remee Jo Lee was thrilled to be pregnant. Her boyfriend Andrew Welden took Remee Jo to his father, a doctor, to confirm the pregnancy. Andrew then claimed she had a bacterial infection and gave her a bottle of pills labeled Amoxicillin, an anti-biotic.

Andrew had filled the bottle with misoprostol pills. The drug can treat miscarriage, induce labor, or cause an abortion.

Remee Jo took one pill. She became seriously ill and went to the hospital. Doctors determined she has suffered a miscarriage caused by misoprostol.

Andrew admitted to her – and to law enforcement – that the pills were misoprostol.

She is suing for $15,000.

Misoprostol is a favorite of international abortion advocates. Several groups are working to make misoprostol easy to obtain – by anyone. The World Health Organizations added misoprostol to its “essential medicines” list after being lobbied by abortion groups.

Pro-life advocates warn that easy access to misoprostol will result in women with wanted pregnancy being forcibly aborted.
