Senator Bernie Moreno, from Ohio, is raising concerns over a drug policy initiated during the Biden administration. He claims this policy led to a tragic incident involving one of his constituents. An Ohio doctor named Hassan Abbas recently received sentencing for identity fraud and obtaining dangerous drugs through deception. Prosecutors revealed that Abbas used his estranged wife’s personal details to acquire abortion pills by mail and administered them to his girlfriend, who was a former patient, against her will after she revealed her pregnancy.

The woman alleges that she was forced to abort, stating that Abbas restrained her and force-fed her the pills. In a letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche, Moreno requests action to prevent such occurrences and seeks assurance that women and their unborn children are protected. He emphasizes the need for justice in cases of coerced abortion.

“I write to you today, Attorney General Blanche, to respectfully request that you do everything in your power to ensure this depravity never happens again to a woman and their unborn child,” Moreno wrote in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

Moreno associates this incident with a recent change in drug policy. The Biden-era FDA modified the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy for mifepristone, an abortion-inducing drug. This change allowed the medication to be prescribed remotely and sent through the mail. Previously, mifepristone had to be dispensed directly in a clinical setting.

Without the in-person requirement, Abbas could fraudulently acquire the drugs using his estranged wife’s identity. Moreno considers the actions of Abbas as profoundly wicked.

Louisiana is challenging the FDA’s rule change, arguing that removing the in-person dispensing requirement was improper. The legal dispute is still ongoing, with the rules not yet altered.

Moreno urges the attorney general to expedite the conclusion of the Louisiana v. FDA case to reinstate the previous dispensing requirements. He believes this step is critical for ensuring drug safety. Regarding Abbas’s sentencing, Moreno finds the outcome inadequate. Abbas received a plea deal, resulting in six months of jail and two years of probation.

Moreno states: “What makes this even worse is that Mr. Hassan Abbas was only sentenced to six months of jail time and two years of probation. How can someone commit a crime so vile and only receive six months of jail time?” The senator asks the Department of Justice to reevaluate the case for possible federal charges.
