A Georgia woman has become the first person to be charged with murder under the state’s restrictive law banning abortions after allegedly taking drugs to induce a miscarriage when she was around five months pregnant.
The Peach State’s Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act, which was passed in 2019, bans abortion after embryonic cardiac activity can be detected, which comes roughly around the six-week mark in pregnancy.
