This is really sick. Giving your pregnant wife or pregnant girlfriend Mifepristone (the abortion pill) unknowingly….to them, to abort your child. I’m glad that Texas takes appropriate action to hold these murderers accountable.
Texas Man Faces Life in Prison for Secretly Poisoning Pregnant Woman With Abortion Pill
A young Texas mother wanted to keep her baby girl.
Now Presley Mae is gone – stillborn at 14 weeks – and the man accused of killing her is looking at life in prison.
What prosecutors say Jon Rueben Demeter did to end that pregnancy is something you need to read for yourself.
How a Texas Man Used a Mail-Order Abortion Pill to Kill His Unborn Daughter
She had no idea what was in the bottle.
Jon Rueben Demeter, 25, allegedly crushed a mifepristone pill, mixed the powder into a water bottle with an electrolyte packet, and handed it to his pregnant girlfriend – telling her it was a drink that had helped the mother of his other children during pregnancy.
That night, she fell ill.
At the hospital in The Woodlands, she delivered a stillborn daughter.
Presley Mae weighed 55 grams. She had 10 fingers and 10 toes.
Montgomery County Sheriff Wesley Doolittle didn't mince words. "He covertly crushed that medication and mixed it in a water bottle with a liquid I.V. packet, and this was done with this specific intent to cause the death of the child."
The mother had refused Demeter's repeated attempts to pressure her into an abortion.
He had offered her money. He had offered to pay for her to travel out of state.
She said no every time.
Texas Abortion Law Gets Its First Criminal Test After Forced Abortion Poisoning
A Montgomery County grand jury indicted Demeter on two first-degree felonies: performance of an abortion and injury to a child.
Both charges carry a possible sentence of five years to life in prison.
District Attorney Michael Holley opened his press conference with a quote from Dr. Seuss: "A person's a person no matter how small."
He wasn't being cute. He was stating what this case is about.
"I'm grateful I live in a place where little lives matter," Holley said. "And I'm grateful I live in a place where our ladies' lives matter and that violence against our ladies is unacceptable in any form."
Chief Prosecutor Laura Hill noted the gravity of the charges. "The case reflects the seriousness with which prosecutors and investigators approach allegations involving bodily autonomy, personal safety, and the protection of victims."
Holley made one thing unmistakably clear: forced abortion has always been illegal in America. "It has never been lawful for someone to perform an abortion in the manner against a woman and against her consent of this nature."
What makes this case historic is the specific statute prosecutors chose. This is believed to be the first criminal prosecution of a non-medical person under Texas' post-Dobbs abortion performance law – the same law that went into effect in 2022 after the Supreme Court returned abortion decisions to the states.
Demeter had initially been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The grand jury upgraded those charges after prosecutors – following the legal doctrine of "in pari materia" – determined the abortion statute more precisely addressed what actually happened to Presley Mae.
Investigators found a glass bowl with white powder residue and evidence of a crushed white pill at Demeter's home. He admitted to detectives he had ordered mifepristone online and had it delivered to his residence.
The Mifepristone Mail-Order Pipeline Ken Paxton Is Trying to Shut Down
Here is what makes this case bigger than one man's monstrous act.
Demeter didn't drive to a pharmacy. He ordered mifepristone from the internet and had it shipped to his front door – in Texas, where it is illegal.
That's the pipeline the abortion industry has been building since Dobbs.
Attorney General Ken Paxton has been fighting it on multiple fronts. He has filed lawsuits against Aid Access – an Austria-based abortion-by-mail operation – and Delaware-based Her Safe Harbor, both of which ship mifepristone directly into Texas homes. Paxton's office cited the Demeter case directly in its enforcement actions.
"No one, regardless of where they live, will be freely allowed to aid in the murder of unborn children in Texas," Paxton said.
The Texas Attorney General's office is actively investigating the website through which Demeter allegedly obtained the drug. Charges against whoever supplied it remain a possibility.
This isn't an isolated case. In 2024, Mason Herring – a Houston man – pleaded guilty to injury to a child and assault of a pregnant person for secretly giving his wife misoprostol. In 2025, Justin Anthony Banta of North Texas was charged with capital murder after allegedly lacing cookies and a beverage with mifepristone and giving them to his pregnant girlfriend.
Men are ordering abortion pills online and using them as weapons against women and their unborn children.
Sheriff Doolittle put it plainly: "She had 10 fingers and 10 toes. That future was stolen before it ever had a chance to begin."
Jon Rueben Demeter's trial is expected to move forward later this summer – and the abortion industry that built the pipeline delivering that pill to his doorstep should be watching every minute of it.

1 engagementsAccording to Texas law, if @alexismcgill (President of Planned Parenthood) were pregnant and walked into the office of @GregAbbott_TX with declared intent to murder her baby, could she take mifepristone and misoprostol there in his office to murder her baby with zero chance of being prosecuted by any jurisdiction in the Republic of Texas?
Yes or no?

1 engagementsFALSE.
Here’s what happened in the case of Porsha Ngumezi.
Ngumezi miscarried at 11 weeks. But her doctor, Dr. Andrew Davis, doesn’t see her until 7 hours later and gives her misoprostol instead of a normal D&C procedure that is commonly used to remove the baby’s body after a miscarriage. After Ngumezi died, Davis’ notes contradict those from nurses and claimed she had minimal bleeding.
It was clear Porsha needed an emergency D&C,medical experts have said regarding her case. That Davis did not do one led to her death — not the Texas abortion ban.
Texas abortion law places no restrictions on medical providers in the treatment of a miscarriage. Texas abortion law allows intervention in medical emergencies, making it very clear that the abortion ban did absolutely nothing to prevent doctors and nurses from properly treating Ngumezi.
Texas abortion law explicitly states that removing embryonic or fetal remains after a miscarriage is not legally an abortion, because abortion is done with the sole intent of killing the baby, not treating a pregnant woman whose baby died. Texas abortion law applies equally to drugs or medications as it does to procedures or surgical interventions.
Dr. Ingrid Skop, an OGBYN, provided her expert commentary on the case.
She complained that liberal media laws falsely claiming the Texas abortion ban killed Hgumezi are hurting women because they “spread misinformation about the law and undermine medical best practices.”
“Nothing in Texas law, which specifically exempts ‘removal of a dead, unborn child’ prevented Porsha’s doctors from providing her – or any woman suffering from a miscarriage– with a D&C,” Skop explained. “Her physician’s failure to provide the medically necessary intervention, as she bled so heavily that she required a transfusion, reflects very poor-quality care, possibly medical malpractice.”
“Media misinformation has deadly consequences. Doctors need to know that under every pro-life law, including Texas’s, physicians can intervene to save women’s lives in pregnancy emergencies,” the OBGYN adds. “Leveraging women’s suffering to promote a dishonest and harmful agenda has become standard practice for the abortion lobby and for the pro-abortion media – which routinely quotes abortionists as “medical experts” without disclosing their ties to the abortion industry.”
“Texas women deserve better than this fearmongering, and Texas medical organizations and hospitals should make sure every physician understands their duty to provide lifesaving care,” she concluded.

1 engagements1. James Fishback’s Role and the Statement
Fishback is a Republican candidate for Florida governor (2026 primary). As governor, he could influence state law enforcement priorities, appoint or influence some officials, and push legislation - but he does not personally “sign warrants,” act as prosecutor, or control courts/extradition in the way described. Those functions belong to law enforcement, prosecutors (e.g., state attorneys), judges, and the Attorney General.
The rhetoric frames mailing abortion pills (mifepristone + misoprostol) as 1st-degree murder (“to murder a child”). This is a strong political position but not current law.
2. Florida Abortion Laws on Pills
• Florida bans most abortions after ~6 weeks (with limited exceptions) and requires medication abortions to involve in-person physician dispensing - not mail-order.
• Violating this can lead to professional sanctions, fines, or criminal penalties for providers (often misdemeanors/felonies tied to unlicensed practice or abortion statutes), but not 1st-degree murder.
• Florida has feticide laws (unlawful killing of an unborn child by injury to the mother can be treated as murder in some cases), but these do not equate consensual medication abortion with premeditated murder of a “person.” Abortion statutes treat it separately; fetal personhood for homicide purposes is limited and does not override abortion regulations.
No Florida statute currently classifies sending/receiving abortion pills as 1st-degree murder (premeditated homicide). Changing this would require new legislation redefining “personhood” from conception for criminal purposes - which courts could strike down and which faces political hurdles even in a red state.
3. Arrest Warrants and Charging Out-of-State CEOs
• A governor doesn’t issue criminal arrest warrants; prosecutors/judges do, based on probable cause under existing statutes.
• For an out-of-state CEO (e.g., in California or New York, where such companies operate legally), Florida would need to show the CEO personally committed acts with intent that violate Florida law (e.g., knowingly shipping pills intended for illegal use in Florida). This is a high bar - corporate officers are often shielded, and intent/“murder” elements don’t fit.
• Feasible in theory for violations: Florida could pursue charges for aiding illegal abortions, unlicensed practice, or related crimes if pills reach Florida. Some states have pursued providers for mailing pills.
4. Extradition Realities
• Extradition is possible for serious crimes but discretionary. The asylum state’s governor (e.g., California) decides whether to honor Florida’s request.
• Blue states with “shield laws” (e.g., California, New York) explicitly refuse extradition for abortion-related conduct legal in their state. Examples: California and New York governors have rejected requests from Louisiana/Texas for doctors mailing pills.
• Federal courts/Constitution don’t force extradition for acts that aren’t crimes in the sending state. A murder charge might carry more weight, but reclassifying abortion this way would trigger massive legal challenges (Due Process, Equal Protection, Commerce Clause, etc.).
5. Broader Barriers
• Federal overlay: FDA rules, Supreme Court precedents on mifepristone access (mailing has been upheld in recent rulings despite challenges), and the Comstock Act debates complicate interstate mailing.
• Practical enforcement: Tracking every pill shipment, proving causation (“murder”), and winning convictions against distant CEOs is resource-intensive and untested at this scale. Prosecutions have focused more on in-state providers or individuals.
• Constitutional limits: Full fetal personhood (equating abortion to murder) would upend settled law and face Supreme Court scrutiny post-Dobbs. Many states avoid charging women/patients with murder to prevent backlash.

Married Fort Worth, Texas couple find out wife is miscarrying at 13 weeks.
Sent home with Misoprostol. Wife takes two rounds of the drug. It doesn’t work.
They go back to the same hospital. Turned away. Go to another hospital requesting a D&C so that sepsis doesn’t set in.
The hospital said she wasn’t SICK enough for a D&C so they got a third round of Misoprostol and were sent home.
At home wife passes out unconscious, blood and bodily fluid everywhere.
She’s rushed to the hospital they say “Thank God you brought her in.”
Fuck Republicans vote Blue!
