A Georgia woman is facing a murder charge after police say she took pills to induce an abortion, a shocking development in the ongoing legal battles surrounding reproductive rights. Alexia Moore, 31, has been jailed in Camden County since March 4, also facing charges of illegal drug possession. This case could mark one of the first times a woman has been charged with murder for terminating a pregnancy in Georgia since the state passed its 2019 law.
According to the NY Post, Moore arrived at a hospital on December 30 complaining of abdominal pain. She reportedly told medical staff that she had taken misoprostol, a drug used in medication abortions, along with the opioid painkiller oxycodone.
