My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
What happens if a man who persistently pressures a woman into having an abortion eventually, as she resists his pleas, resorts to physical violence (i.e. he punches her repeatedly in the abdomen). that does not result in miscarriage.
However, bruises, emotional upset, and general fear of what he may or may not do to her remain.
Also, as the incident took place, the man's child wasn't within in visible but within audible distance of what had happened. In the end, out of fear, etc...a late-term abortion was had.
If charges are pressed, what punishment would be in store for the said man? Also, what possible effect would such have (if any) in regards to his custody over his child?
