A U.S. 
Army captain will serve 12 years in military prison after he pleaded guilty to secretly slipping his pregnant girlfriend, another soldier, a mail-order abortion drug that killed their unborn baby. 
Capt. 
Brandon Jones-Adams impregnated a junior enlisted soldier when the two became romantically involved on rotation in South Korea in May 2025. 
A couple of months later, the pair was reassigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington. 
It was there in August 2025 that the 34-year-old captain, in what army prosecutors called a “deliberate, calculated, and malicious” act, spiked his partner’s drink with abortion drugs that sent her to the emergency room with severe cramping. 
The soldier reportedly suspected that Jones-Adams drugged her after noticing residue in the bottom of her cup. 
According to a forensic examination of Jones-Adams’ phone, the captain tried repeatedly leading up to the poisoning to obtain the most popular chemical abortion means, mifepristone, “from other sources.” 
When those failed, he enlisted a fake name to order the abortion pills online, a move only made possible by the Trump FDA’s continuation of the Biden administration’s radically relaxed mail-order abortion pill policies. 
At the time of the abortion pill poisoning, the junior soldier was 13 weeks pregnant, more than three weeks further along than the 10-week gestation limit set in the U.S. 
Food and Drug Administration’s mifepristone prescription requirements. 
Already, one in 10 women who take mifepristone suffer a serious adverse event such as hemorrhage or infection. 
The risk of contracting a life-threatening side effect linked to pill-induced abortion  which data suggests is at least 22 times higher than what the FDA and mifepristone maker Danco Laboratories claim  only increases for a mother whose pregnancy is further along than 10 weeks. 
Research suggests that 81 percent of online abortion businesses mail mifepristone to be used by women who exceed the 10-week limit. 
Data also indicates that the estimated hundreds of thousands of women who down those abortion pills each year don’t feel fully informed about the physical, mental, and emotional effects linked to chemical abortion. 
Jones-Adams ultimately pleaded guilty to murdering his unborn child, domestic violence, fraternization, and conduct unbecoming an officer shortly after admitting to investigators in the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division that he spiked his pregnant girlfriend’s drink with abortion pills. 
He was not only sentenced to serve the maximum prison time for his plea bargain, but is also dismissed from the army without pay or allowances. 
“By committing these crimes, he inflicted profound harm on his victim and betrayed the trust placed in him as an Army officer. 
Today’s sentence holds him accountable for his conduct and provides a measure of justice and closure for those harmed,” Circuit Chief Lt. 
Col. 
Tyler Heimann, Sixth Circuit, Army Office of Special Trial Counsel, said in a statement. 
“What Mr. 
Jones-Adams did was a disgusting act that killed an unborn child and violated the victim’s trust and autonomy in the most personal way,” Special Agent in Charge Michele Starostka of Army CID’s Western Field Office added. 
The prevalence of mail-order mifepristone has paved the way for abuse and injury to plague women who wanted to keep their babies. 
A majority of abortions, 70 percent, are already believed to be unwanted, coerced, or inconsistent with the mother’s values and desires. 
The years following the Biden administration’s expansion of mail-order mifepristone, however, have yielded even more horror stories from women across the nation like Rosalie Markezich, one of the plaintiffs in a landmark abortion pill case, who are susceptible to injuries and even death linked to mifepristone, especially when taking it unknowingly or under duress.
