A married man of 44 years old is accused of giving his lover aged 33 years old an abortion pill. She found powder in the bottom of her drink. The pills he is said to have crushed and put in her drink didn't cause the lady to have an abortion. She had a healthy baby boy. I looks likely that the man will go to jail. How would the lady feel that the man tried to abort her baby? Do you think that the lady didn't want to have an abortion because she had already been upset about a previous abortion she had?

Giving the lade abortion pill without her knowledge is like committing murder... so i hope he rots in jail for this... it is so unfair... just because he doesn't want to the baby... that doesn't mean he has the right to just kill it... it is the choice of the mother and not his...

the man should certainly be sent to jail, if he tried to abort a child of his lover.. and that too without her knowledge.. it's just like a murder..

It was lucky that the baby boy was born and is healthy. I think that the man planned murder of his own child against the wishes of the child's mother. Yes, he should go to jail.

Thankfully the baby was one born healthy without complications to at least one loving and caring parent. How do people even get their hands on medications like that. Or better yet who has the heart to sell those types of prescriptions. Sadly this isnt the first case I have heard of this.

I can't believe a 44-year old man behaved this way. It's such an irresponsible, horrible way of dealing with the situation - and this act is characteristic of a teenager, but a 44-year old? To jail - that's where he belongs.

So this Guy is (still?) married,was cheating on his wife and having an affair with a Woman who now has his child..at what stage in the pregnancy did he give her the pill? Were they both using contraception when conception took place? It seems careless of them that She got pregnant,unless She wanted his Baby..And it was at least callous of Him to administer the pill to Her without her knowledge or consent,and at worst murderous if the baby had been beyond certain stages in it's development when He did so..and What of Her previous experience? Was He the Father that time too? I don't know how forgiving his wife might be,either for the infidelity or the attempt on the Baby's Life,but the BabyMama should definitely be looking elsewhere for her and the Baby's needs..

I read a newspaper today covering this story,and apparently the guy concerned is a senior Doctor! There was no mention of what it was that he gave her,only that he did so on 2 occasions,once in a coffee,and another time in a bottle of orange drink he gave her..the story says She became suspicious on noticing the coffee lid had been replaced,and the seal had been broken on the orange drink bottle,and both were "powdery",which she apparently passed on to the Police..A Doctor caught doing something like this...Yep,He's going down...

maximax8, The fact that the man is actually a medical consultant just makes it worse and bring disrepute to the medical profession. He just have no right to do that and I am hoping that the baby is not affected or poisoned. As for the lady's decision against abortion may be one as you had mentioned but I think it is has something to do with this affair too. No offense, as ladies in affairs often stray towards wanting a different position in the relationship. This is really sad and shocking on how things had turned out.

The laws today give the fathers little to no rights. The mother can pick to abort the child or to keep it and the father has no say. However, the man is then liable to spend more on a child through child support then one would have to for a child living with you. This 20 year financial burden looming can force one to feel very trapped. What he did is wrong, but so is the system the lead him down this path.

Thats the most horrible thing i have ever heard. How did he get the pill? I didn't know of abortion pills until they mentioned them on the TV last week, I am not against abotions its upto each person what they do but these pills should not be available? I am so glad that she had a healthy baby, poor child though i hope he never ever finds out about this.

Personally this is pretty cruel without their consent, and Glad to hear that she was able to have the baby and everything is OK. Personally I feel that if you are playing around you need to be prepared to pay when accidents happen. Otherwise your just due will come in time. But it looks like since he is going to jail he got his for sure. And it is a choice that should be accepted on what she wants for sure.

With or without the wife's consent, abortion is illegal in many parts of the world. Fortunately the baby is healthy and the mother's life was not put in danger. They must throw the book at him with the full force of the law. cheers!

Hi max, I would be disappointed if the man didn't get a jail sentence, he definitely deserves one. Mike.

I haven't heard this story but reading it here I feel very upset for the woman that had to go through it. I think it is impossible to try and predict why all of this happened. Maybe the guy that she was with just wasn't ready to have a baby and didn't want to tell her that. Maybe he thought that doing it this way instead would be easier. He sounds like a bit of a coward to me.

He had no right to try and abort the baby boy she was carrying.The baby is growing in her not him so she decide if she wants to abort or kept the baby. He should go to jail for what he did and for a long time.

I think any one would be upset whether they had an abortion earlier in life or not. I find it interesting that this man should go to jail for trying his own unborn child when if she had done it, everything would be ok.

I agree that this man should be sent into jail because what he attempted to kill a child. I dont know what is his reason behind this but if he is doesnt want the baby he just tell it frankly to her lover.
