It’s the kind of story that should stop us in our tracks. A woman in Illinois finds herself doubled over in pain, not knowing why. She’s seven weeks pregnant and just told her boyfriend the news. She’s scared. Vulnerable. But instead of support, she gets betrayal. Her boyfriend, 31-year-old Emerson Evans, allegedly slipped her abortion pills without her knowledge. She ends up in the bathroom, crying, suffering a miscarriage. He tells police he “made the decision for her.” And now, he’s facing two charges of intentional homicide of an unborn child.
Let that sink in — homicide. Not “a clump of cells.” Not “reproductive health care.” Homicide.
This isn’t just a tragic story, it’s a moment of truth for the left. The same folks who shout that abortion is a “human right” are suddenly charging a man with murder — because he ended a pregnancy without the woman’s consent. Prosecutors say the unborn child had value. That it was a life. That it could be murdered.
So what changed? Only one thing: the mother didn’t consent.
If she had taken the same exact pills on her own, Planned Parenthood would’ve thrown her a parade. The media would’ve called it “empowerment.” The Biden-era leftovers still lingering in state bureaucracies would’ve called it “bodily autonomy.” But because a man made the decision for her, the state now calls it what pro-life Americans have been saying all along — murder.
You can’t have it both ways, folks. Either an unborn baby is a human being with rights, or it’s not. Either ending its life is a crime, or it’s not. The left can’t keep pretending the fetus magically becomes a human being only when it’s convenient for their narrative.
This case tears the mask off the pro-abortion movement. For years, they’ve shouted slogans and ignored science. They’ve mocked anyone who dared to call an unborn baby a baby. They’ve pushed pills like mifepristone — the same one Evans used — as if they were aspirin. They’ve flooded college campuses with them, encouraged women to self-manage abortions in their dorm rooms, and cheered every effort to loosen restrictions. But now, when that same pill is used without permission, suddenly it’s worthy of a homicide charge?
Don’t get me wrong — Evans should be punished. What he did was evil. He took a life and violated the mother’s trust in the most horrific way. But it’s the reaction from the system that exposes the rotten double standard. In trying to defend “choice,” the left has built their entire argument around the idea that the unborn have no rights. And now they’re prosecuting a man for violating the rights of an unborn child.
So which is it?
You can’t say it’s a baby when the mother wants it, and a meaningless blob when she doesn’t. That’s not science — that’s politics. That’s emotional convenience dressed up as law. And now, that contradiction is starting to crumble under its own weight.
The truth is simple: unborn children are human beings. And once you admit that, everything changes. You can’t claim to fight for justice while ignoring the most vulnerable among us. You can’t say one man is a murderer for ending a pregnancy, but another is a hero for doing it in a clinic with a white coat.
This case should be a wake-up call for every American who still buys into the left’s abortion narrative. It’s not about choice. It’s about denying the obvious — that life begins before birth, and all life deserves protection.
And if Illinois prosecutors want to finally start acknowledging that unborn children are worth protecting, we say: welcome to the party. You’re only about 50 years late.
