Texas: Man Spikes Woman’s Coffee to Induce Abortion

Justin Anthony Banta (38), an IT specialist with the Justice Department, secretly spiked his pregnant girlfriend's drink with "Plan C" abortion drugs to induce a miscarriage without her knowledge.

    This prosecution reminds me of the Texas deputy who used thousands of surveillance cameras to track down a young woman who sought reproductive care. Justin Anthony Banta shouldn't have done what he is accused of, but to be charged with capital murder?

    #2 was a joke BTW.

    I support him being charged with murder and attempted murder on the mother.

    I can't agree with giving a mulligan to some guy who induced an abortion without either the woman's knowledge or consent. That's an act of violence.

    And that is the case at hand.
