An Illinois man has been arrested and accused of intentional homicide of an unborn child after he allegedly gave the abortion chemical mifepristone to his girlfriend, killing her baby, according to a report from Live Action News.
The report said it was police in Bloomington who took into custody Emerson Evans, on allegations he drugged his girlfriend without her knowledge.

“Evans had reportedly been pressuring the woman to abort the baby,” the report explained, adding, “He told police he paid a different woman $50 for the pills.”
Evans, 31, of Normal, Illinois, now faces counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child.
Bloomington police said in a statement emergency personnel were called to a home on August 22 for a pregnant woman having a medical emergency.
“They found the woman crying in a bathroom, surrounded by a large amount of blood. They then found the remains of her preborn baby in the toilet,” the report confirmed.
Evans subsequently confirmed he wanted her to get an abortion and then said he decided to “make the decision for her” by administering the abortion drug to her without her knowledge or consent, the report said.
“We are again saddened by the alleged criminal actions which resulted in harm to others. It is my hope the mother involved in the matter fully recovers and has the resources and support of this strong community in the future,” said Chief Jamal Simington.
The report noted the potential penalty for intentional homicide of an unborn child is 20-60 years in prison, and in some cases, life in prison.
