In a case which shows the strange inconsistencies in laws dealing with violence against unborn children, a Florida man has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder for tricking his pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion pills, leading to the death of their unborn child. Remee Lee, 26, was happy to be pregnant and planned on having the baby, despite the fact that her boyfriend, John Andrew Weldon, didn’t want the child.
According to Lee: “Everyone dreams of becoming a mom. This was my chance.”
John Weldon was the son of the obstetrician/gynecologist who was treating his Lee. Weldon’s father, the OB/GYN, was the one who diagnosed her pregnancy. A sonogram showed that she was six weeks along. By six weeks, the unborn baby’s heart is beating, but the baby is not fully developed. Lee left the appointment happy, but Weldon did not share her happiness and wanted her to abort.
Weldon later told Lee that his father, the doctor, had diagnosed her with an infection and that she needed to take antibiotics. Wilson then presented her with a bottle full of what he claimed were amoxicillin tablets. He instructed her to take three a day for the next several days. Lee did not suspect that the pills were really Cytotec, a drug used to induce contractions and cause abortions.
It is not known where Weldon obtained the drugs, but police say he carefully substituted them for the amoxicillin, leaving them labeled as the harmless antibiotic. Allegedly, he filed identifying markings off the pills to further compound the deception.
Lee took the drugs for several days. She began bleeding heavily and cramping, and went to the hospital. Doctors examined her and told her that her unborn child no longer had a heartbeat. She learned of her baby’s death on Easter Sunday.
Lee said that Weldon had been pressuring her to have an abortion since he found out that she was pregnant. She lamented that Weldon “used this pregnancy as my Achilles heel. He knew I wanted to do what is best, so that is why I took [the pills]”.
They charge of first-degree murder in the death of the unborn baby is ironic considering that last year, in Florida, over 94,000 women had abortions, with many of the abortions being done on babies older than six weeks. https://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/sfaa/florida.html. There are almost 1800 abortion providers in Florida. Had Lee’s baby been killed by one of them, no charges would have been filed.
