Mifepristone is a drug used to end pregnancies by breaking down the uterine lining and cutting off blood and nutrient supplies to the growing embryo, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The victim became pregnant in May 2025, while both she and Jones-Adams were completing a rotation to South Korea. Jones-Adams poured the victim a drink on Aug. 21, which later caused the victim to feel extreme cramping, and she ultimately suffered the loss of her unborn child at 13 weeks old, according to a U.S. Army press release.

SBA Pro Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said there are numerous documented cases of abortion drug coercion.
“Easy access to dangerous abortion drugs online, without so much as an ID check, enables abusers to harm innocent women and children in places where we rightly expect the highest standard of conduct,” Dannenfelser said in the SBA Pro-Life release. “Nearly 70% of women having abortions are being pushed into a life-ending decision with lifelong repercussions, when they would rather keep their child, if they could just receive the support they deserve. With no choice and no doctor, the old talking points are completely hollow.”
The case has caused various anti-abortion groups to urge acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to remove mail-order abortion drugs from the market following a lawsuit, Louisiana v. FDA, challenging the FDA’s rule change to allow abortion drugs to be prescribed via telehealth, mail, and retail pharmacies.
