An Illinois man was arrested after he allegedly drugged his pregnant girlfriend with abortion-inducing pills, causing her to have a miscarriage, according to police.

Emerson Evans, 31, was charged with two counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, Bloomington police said in a news release.

Officers were called to a home in Bloomington on Friday at around 7 p.m., when they found a pregnant woman suffering a medical emergency.

During the probe, investigators determined that Evans administered abortion pills without the woman’s consent to cause her to miscarry, according to police. While abortion is legal in Illinois, intentional homicide of an unborn child carries a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison for each count.

The incident remains under investigation.

During a court hearing, Judge Amy McFarland said Evans allegedly told police he “made the decision” for his girlfriend, according to IPM Newsroom.

“Frankly, the number of pills demonstrates a lack of knowledge or consent,” Judge Amy McFarland said at the hearing.

Evans wanted to “effectuate his beliefs of what should occur in the absence of consent. That involved taking a life,” McFarland told the court.
