A paramedic who secretly gave a pregnant woman an abortion drug, killing their unborn child, has been jailed for 10 years and six months.
Stephen Doohan, who was a clinical team leader with the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS), administered the drug after he found out the woman was pregnant with his baby.
The woman, who did not know Doohan was married when they were in a relationship, suffered a miscarriage after the 33-year-old crushed pills into a syringe and injected her as she lay in bed at his Edinburgh home in 2023.
Doohan pleaded guilty to assault, sexual assault and causing the woman to have an abortion at the High Court in Glasgow in May.
Judge Lord Colbeck said Doohan had put his victim, who has not been named, "through considerable pain over a number of days, and left her facing a lifetime of pain and loss".
He added: "You researched and planned what you did to your victim.
"You used resources available to you as a paramedic before manipulating the woman and executing that plan under the guise of consensual sexual activity.
"You left her in what can only be described as considerable pain and anguish over the prospect of losing her child before she did, in fact, do so.
"The offences committed by you, frankly, are almost as serious as any this court is ever asked to sentence."
The judge stated the emotional victim impact statement he had read "radiates with raw pain" suffered by the woman.
Lord Colbeck also imposed a non-harassment order for an indeterminate period of time on the 33-year-old.
Doohan previously featured in a BBC documentary series, Paramedics on Scene.
He was suspended by the ambulance service after it learned of what he had done and he is no longer employed by them.

How is this murder? Isn’t it it “just a clump of cells”?... Seems to be a logical disconnect here...
This could bring in consent from the father issues. Which is not a bad thing though I guess the assumption has been fathers generally consent to abortion of their offspring

Good. It will give him some quiet time to think about his murdered child!
It is a disconnect. Abortion is legalized merder so the saying goes.
Its also the ultimate privilege of women that not even a lover or a husband or family member can usurp.
We have similar inconsistencies in states laws in the United States. With the so-called fetal homicide laws, if someone murders a pregnant woman they can be charged with two murders. Conversely, if the pregnant woman obtains an abortion there is no murder. In essence, murder may or may not be murder. It depends on who commits it.
See, now it’s a child, otherwise just a bunch of cells according to the liberal left.
Suppose a man driving a car hits another car, causing the female driver of the second car to lose her baby. The man would be guilty of manslaughter, if he were responsible for the crash.
What if the woman driver were on her way to an abortion clinic to terminate the child’s life? If the crash hadn’t happened, the baby would have been dead in an hour, anyway.
FIFY
Pfizer’s Vax was shown thru its tests that it killed ~80% of fetuses. They knew this going in.
Any woman who suffered a miscarriage needs to sue. Release from liability ‘cause the CDC was paid to issue an emergency license provides liability coverage/protection only against admitted risks. If they covered up the death rate that is not admitted or informed.
