UK Millionare could get life in jail for trying to terminate wife's pregnancy

UK Daily Mail:

A husband hid abortion pills in a sandwich and gave it to his wife in a desperate bid to kill their unborn child, a court heard yesterday.

Gil Magira, 36, feigned concern and rushed her to hospital when she started bleeding.

But he tried to finish the job the next day by giving her a second dose of tablets mixed in yoghurt.

Anat Abraham, 41, eventually gave birth prematurely to a healthy son, Matan, now eight months old.

...

Yesterday, the businessman was jailed for three years and nine months at the Old Bailey after admitting the rare offence of administering a poison with intent to cause miscarriage.

It is believed to be the first such prosecution since abortion was legalised 40 years ago.

... Mr Goldberg said Magira realised he had sinned against his religion by seeking an abortion and suggested he would hope to gain access to his son once released from prison.
