A Massachusetts man has been accused of tricking his ex-girlfriend into taking abortion pills before she suffered a miscarriage.
Robert Kawada, 43, allegedly pressured the unnamed woman into taking the abortion pills over several weeks, telling her they contained iron and other vitamins.
Watertown Police said the former couple met on a dating app in January and dated until Kawada ended the relationship in early March, as reported by NBC Boston.
The alleged victim learned she was pregnant after the two broke up, according to court documents, and that's when Kawada obtained the abortion pills, including misoprostol, a prescription drug commonly used with mifepristone to end pregnancies.
At one point, he told the woman that the pregnancy had made his mother so upset that it was to blame for her death in April, per court documents.
The woman told police that Kawada, a divorced father-of-two, claimed his dad was an OB-GYN doctor as he offered her assurances when she thought his behavior was odd.
However, on one occasion the woman saved the pills he told her to take, per police records.
Kawada is also accused of giving her homemade cookies containing raspberry leaf - a homeopathic believed to induce labor.
He allegedly told the woman to not swallow the pills, but to hold them between her cheeks as they dissolved. He would check inside her mouth to make sure she had taken then, according to police.
The woman had concerning pain and discharge throughout her pregnancy, and Kawada would ask for updates, including from the first checkup, where the baby's heartbeat was strong.

Modern romance.
Make abortion pills easy to obtain to protect women’s reproductive freedom.
I don’t hear the reproductive freedom folks working against this abuse.
If this is modern romance I’d rather join a Convent.
Whatever it was it was an induced miscarriage
There’s spontaneous miscarriage and there’s induced miscarriage.
And I bet he also claims to support a woman’s right to choose.
As long as the choice is death for the baby, that is.
I’m not sure how they met is relevant when they were together that long? It makes it sound like they just met up and he poisoned her.
But really, isn’t this about the same thing that Letitia James is trying to do? Trying to make sure that a woman who realizes after taking Mifepristol (sp?) that she wants her child has no way to choose life after all.
In this case, it was the male who wanted to abort. Normally or most times, it’s a woman’s decision. The only difference with this case is that, the woman didn’t know the man wanted the abortion, while in most cases with women aborting, the male is unaware of the abortion.
Which is worse? Male’s wanting abortions, or women wanting abortions? Yeah, I know, this man was being a monster with inducing an abortion on the unsuspecting girlfriend, but still, doesn’t he have the right to abort the baby?
He didn’t “force” her.
He tricked her.
He was exercising her right to choose.
Book 'im, Dan-o.
Casual sex. Casual murder.
Such evil stalks our world.
