On August 22, 2025, Emerson Evans, a 31-year-old from Normal, Illinois, was arrested for allegedly inserting four mifepristone pills into his girlfriend’s vagina during intercourse without her consent, causing a miscarriage, as reported by Bloomington Police and outlets like Law&Crime and Yahoo News.
The woman, seven weeks pregnant, experienced a medical emergency, leading to police finding her in distress with significant blood loss. Evans admitted to buying the pills for $50 and claimed he was “making the decision for her,” facing two counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, akin to first-degree murder under Illinois law, with a potential 20-60 year sentence. Court documents note the misuse of mifepristone, typically taken orally at a single-pill dose, highlighting the case’s severity, per Judge Amy McFarland’s remarks on bodily autonomy violations.
