A Pennsylvania pharmacist has been charged with causing his pregnant girlfriend to have a miscarriage.
But the interesting thing is that Orbin Eeli Tercero, 38, is being charged with criminal homicide of an unborn child, first-degree murder of an unborn child, aggra vated assault of an unborn child, aggravated assault, hindering apprehension or prosecution, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
Star Gazette reports:
The charges are based on the following events, according to police:
The victim, a 36-year-old woman from Sayre and a pharmacist at a Wegmans Market, said she had a two-year physical relationship with Tercero, also a Wegmans pharmacist.Tercero was engaged to another woman at the time.
The victim, whose name is being withheld by this newspaper, told Tercero she was pregnant in mid-January.
Tercero told the woman he could use the drug misoprostol to induce a miscarriage. The victim told Tercero she would get an abortion instead. The victim, however, made a Feb. 24 appointment for an abortion but changed her mind. She called Tercero to tell him she would keep the baby.
In late February, on the victim’s birthday, Tercero visited her at home and used misoprostol he allegedly stole from Wegmans pharmacy to cause the miscarriage.
Without her knowing it, Tercero put one pill in her vagina, one in her juice and one in her water. She was 13 weeks pregnant at the time.When the victim began to miscarry, she found a partially dissolved misoprostol tablet among the discharge. Tercero drove the victim to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, where she miscarried.
Guy sounds like a real prize, huh?
I’m glad that the authorities in Pennsylvania are charging the man to the full extent of the law but the whole thing makes no sense to me. How can pro-aborts claim the mantle of science when they base the question of humanity to a woman’s decision. That’s not science. The baby was a person because the woman decided it was?
Now, this story won’t get reported, of course, as pro-choice violence because we all know that pro-lifers are the violent lunatics.

If one parent can choose to end the life, why can't the other? Plus, how did he manage to get the pill in there without her knowing….?

This is local news for me. My husband is very close friends with the D.A. Dan Barrett. His wife is a teacher and the head of our local Right to Life chapter. They are both amazing people and Mr. Barrett was personally sickened by this man's actions. He has assured the community that he will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. He could get 20 years. Both of these individuals are to blame. There was also a fiance involved who, according to another source, knew about the pregnancy but insisted that she wouldn't continue the relationship unless the baby was not an issue. This is a very, very small town. I assure you the community has felt this. It's sad though that a mother can kill her baby and it's choice but when a father kills his baby it's murder. Dan–the perp actually administered 3 pills. One in the v-jay-jay during sex and 2 in her food and drink. Guess he wanted to make sure….

Re: "If the woman did it, it would be OK." Falsehood need not be consistent.

Now there you go being logical…

Besides being a bad man Orbin Eeli Tercero must be very gifted with the slight of hand because frankly, I can't imagine how he pulled this off.

It's a little pill, they are having sex, touching is involved, I don't think it takes much imagination to see how he did it. But I think saying how would be too graphic for this blog. I think it will all have to be said in court, though.

By the way, Catholic Mom of 6, I guess we are nearly neighbors, as I live in Owego. I was down in Sayre for an appointment at Packer just two days ago.
I am a Catholic Mom of 9, but all grown; the youngest is finishing her junior year in college.
If you ever want to meet, my email is my handle and my first name, no punctuation, at gmail.
