Man will Stand Trial for Murder After Lacing Girlfriend
July 14, 2014

WaKenney,
KS - A Kansas man has been bound over for trial after a judge ruled
last week to admit as evidence his confession that he laced his pregnant
girlfriend's pancakes with an abortion drug he bought over the
internet.
Scott
Robert Bolling, 30, will be tried on one count of first degree murder
and one count of aggravated battery for causing Naomi Abbott to lose her
baby on January 31, 2014. Billing was arrested after doctors treating
Abbott found misoprostol, also known as Cytotec, in her blood.
Abbott
has wanted her baby and had refused his demands that abort their child.
That fact qualified this case for the first degree murder charge.
Bolling
had admitted to police that he gave Abbot the drugs hoping she would
have an abortion, but challenged the legal validity of the confession in
court. A judge ruled that the prosecution will be allowed to use it as
evidence.
"This
case sadly illustrates the little discussed problem of women being
coerced or forced into abortions by boyfriends or relatives. Most of the
time, these forced abortions take place at abortion clinics where women
are not protected from those who are demanding they abort," said
Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "Ironically, if Bolling had
dragged her off to the abortion facility against her will, most likely
nothing would have been done to him."
Newman
continued, "This also shows how it is far to easy to obtain dangerous
abortion drugs over the internet. More must be done to tighten
regulations so that these drugs are not so readily available to any Tom,
Dick, or Harry that has an internet connection and a credit card."
