A Texas man, Justin Anthony Banta, 38, was arrested for allegedly spiking his partner’s drink with abortion-inducing medication, resulting in her pregnancy loss without consent. He faces charges of tampering with evidence and capital murder, having been released on a $500,000 bond. Banta denies the accusations, claiming no evidence of the woman’s pregnancy has been provided, while his defense attorney stated he has cooperated with investigators since last fall, and noted that Texas law restricts access to abortion-inducing pills.
