Horrific.
Jona Affholder says she began a relationship in October 2024 with a resident surgeon in Toledo, Dr. Hassan-James Abbas. Affholder says she didn't realize that Dr. Abbas was separated, but still married to, his wife.
After months of being together, Affholder got pregnant, and that's when Abbas began to unravel.
A few months into our relationship, I found out I was pregnant. The moment I told him, everything changed. His calm demeanor disappeared.
That was when his secrets spilled. He revealed he was still legally married.
Then he commanded I abort our child. He spoke obsessively about appearances, his family, and his future career. He repeatedly pushed for an abortion.
I firmly said, 'No.'
Let me pause to note that there is a reason that marriage exists and why monogamy exists. We call ourselves "progressive" today for jettisoning the norms that people have used to make civilization possible for thousands of years.
Anyway...
Days went by, and then his apology came.
I was shocked; he had completely changed. He was saying he would be the man I needed him to be, and he wouldn't fight against our baby. He offered acts of kindness. He even started getting me hot chocolates daily. Little did I know that he was slowly poisoning our baby and me with the abortion drugs he'd bought online using his ex-wife's information.
Tragically, that wasn't even the worst of it.
After going to bed one night, I woke up around four in the morning feeling like someone was staring. He was awake, hovering over me. Then, in a flash, he pinned me down and forced crushed abortion drugs into my mouth. I knew what he'd done.
Abbas was criminally charged for the attack in December 2025, a year after the assault.
Their child died because of the drugs.
He kept yelling the same things at me: 'My father will cut me off. My family will be ashamed. My career will be ruined.'
At no point did he show concern for our child or for me.
When he assumed the drugs had sufficiently aborted our baby, he returned my belongings, and I went straight to the hospital.
After arriving, I began hemorrhaging. Blood was everywhere. The ER staff had to clean me and change the sheets because it was so severe. And the trauma didn't end there. The medical staff had to support me through the tragedy of miscarrying my child in front of them.
This week, Abbas pleaded no contest to the charges against him. He has lost his medical license (ironically, killing his child ruined his career, not hers!), but he might avoid jail entirely.
Here are more legal details from People:
Abbas had been charged with abduction, evidence tampering, disrupting public services, unlawful distribution of an abortion-inducing drug, identity fraud and deception to obtain a dangerous drug, according to online court records reviewed by PEOPLE.
He pleaded no contest to four charges, excluding the kidnapping and evidence tampering charges; those two will be dropped at sentencing as part of the plea agreement, the prosecutor's office stated. He could face up to five years and a fine of up to $15,000 at the sentencing, which has been scheduled for June.
So, AT MOST he's up for five years in prison. He could get off with just a fine.
For murdering his own baby.
Make it make sense.
