Texas Man Faces Murder Charge After Killing His Girlfriend’s Unborn Baby

A North Texas man faces capital murder charges after slipping abortion drugs into his pregnant girlfriend’s drink, resulting in the death of her unborn child and her hospitalization.
The case has sparked outrage among pro-life advocates, who say it underscores the sanctity of unborn life and the dangers of unregulated abortion drugs.
Justin Anthony Banta, 38, an information technology staffer for the U.S. Department of Justice, was arrested June 6, 2025, by the Parker County Sheriff’s Office following a months-long investigation. According to a sheriff’s office press release, Banta intentionally added “Plan C,” a commonly known abortion drug known as mifepristone, to his girlfriend’s drink without her knowledge or consent in September 2024. The incident occurred at a Tarrant County coffee shop, where the victim, whose identity remains confidential, met Banta and later suspected he had tampered with her beverage.
The victim, who was six weeks pregnant, informed Banta of her pregnancy and expressed her desire to keep her baby, authorities said. Despite her wishes, Banta allegedly encouraged an abortion, offered to cover the cost, and suggested ordering the drugs online.
When she refused, he took matters into his own hands, purchasing the abortion pills and secretly adding them to her drink, according to investigators. The act led to the loss of her unborn child and required her hospitalization for medical complications.
Banta faces additional charges of tampering with physical evidence, and the Texas Rangers have filed the capital murder charge in Tarrant County. If convicted, he could face life in prison or the death penalty, reflecting Texas’ legal recognition of the unborn as victims in cases of intentional harm.
Pro-life advocates point to this case as evidence of the risks posed by the availability of abortion drugs like mifepristone, often marketed as “Plan C.” They argue that such drugs, accessible online with minimal oversight, can be misused to harm women and end unborn lives against a mother’s will.
The victim’s condition remains undisclosed, but her ordeal has drawn sympathy from pro-life communities across the state.

Why don’t women have to consult the father before an abortion. I’ve always wondered that

Democrats consider this to not be a crime because there is nothing to kill

Is this guy a hero for leftists? Killing unborn children seems to be a virtuous act for them.

Inappropriate in this context, but a damn fine point. Men have no say and assume all responsibility. Very lopsided.

Good, the "man" committed a pre-mediated murder and should be charged as such.

I support abortion rights. This is just fricked up though, hope he enjoys jail / death penalty...You shouldn't be drugging people to abort their potential children without their knowledge or consent

But if he wanted the baby and she didn't? Or if she wants to keep it, he is on the hook for child support. Men get no say, except here, I suppose.

Given that is true, men should be able to "abort" all financial responsibility by paying the woman $250 early enough for her to get an abortion.

The issue here is body autonomy.. I believe that a person has a right to control their body and make decisions for it.
In this case he took that away from her. In the other situations I believe she retains said body autonomy.

Premeditated murder. Death penalty.
Give no quarter.

If men were given the same privilege as women to get out of parenthood, then this would not have happened.
Dude should have been able to sign a government form giving up his parental rights/responsibilities to include being protected from legal action from the mother. Equal rights, right?

Didn't Jason Miller do this same thing to some stripper?
