Abortion and Reproductive Health Law

An Ohio grand jury indicted University of Toledo surgical resident Hassan‑James Abbas, 32, on Dec. 3 on six felony counts after authorities say he crushed abortion pills and attempted to force them into his pregnant girlfriend’s mouth as she slept. The State Medical Board of Ohio summarily suspended his license on Nov. 5, citing immediate danger to the public, and scheduled a disciplinary hearing for May 14–15, 2026; the university says he is on administrative leave and will cooperate with the board.
