A 31-year-old Georgia woman has been charged with murder by police who say she took pills to induce an illegal abortion.
If state prosecutors decide to move forward with the murder charge brought by local police against Alexia Moore, her case would be one of the first instances of a woman being charged for terminating a pregnancy in Georgia since it passed a 2019 law banning most abortions.
The arrest warrant charging Moore with murder uses language that echoes the law, saying police determined that Moore had been pregnant beyond six weeks “based on the medical staff’s knowledge that the baby had a beating heart and was struggling to breathe”.
“No one should be criminalized for having an abortion,” Dana Sussman, senior vice-president of the advocacy group Pregnancy Justice said in a statement, calling Moore’s case “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion”.
Then why isnt the president of the US charged with murder? Literally bombing schools and killing kids.

We ought to make conservatism illegal, the way Germany made being a Nazi illegal.
Wait, so all it takes is for the police to “say” you took pills? What about a fucking miscarriage? Like this miscarriage of justice?
To get arrested? Yeah. To get prosecuted? Technically no
By their logic, cancer treatments are murder. It’s a collection of human cells developing in your body, independent of the host.
I don’t understand these guys, man. Someone else’s ability to have an abortion doesn’t stop you from not having one. “Pro-choice” doesn’t mean “abort all babies.” Same way blood transfusions aren’t illegal just because some religions forbid it.
They believe a fetus is a “unique person” and no amount of logic or rationality will change their minds. Nothing else matters to their sick, sociopathic minds.
I watched a video today about how MAGA’ts only debate people for publicity. I more like to think they’re just too stupid to comprehend anything other than “muh relygion!” Whatever reason, yes, nothing else matters to them.
It was a GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic video, don’t remember specifically which one, but it was a great watch imo.

Manslaughter? These evil, inhuman fucks believe miscarriage is also murder.
What the fuck is wrong with poeple
Let us research how far along in the pregnancy this woman was. We can then make an informed decision based on exactly how far along she was when she took these pills, forcing a chemical abortion, then gave birth to a living baby that died. Have you googled the number of weeks yet? Spoiler: Its over half the term.
It doesn’t matter.
It doesnt matter that she tried to abort a 5 month pregnancy? Really?
What if she tried to abort a 15 month pregnancy?
Im pro-choice myself, but her actions were … wrong.
Why stop at 15 months? What about if mom aborts her 455 month old man-child Ted Brogan?
No it doesn’t matter.
There’s no such thing as a 15 month pregnancy.
It doesn’t matter. A woman shouldn’t be forced to use her body against her will. Period. The end.
A 15 month pregnancy would be a 6 month old child. Watch more South Park.
“Aborting” a pregnancy that is over half term is wrong.
False equivalency.
Since when is it murder for a woman to decide what happens to her own body? This is fucked up
see the thing is they don’t view it as her own body. not that part of it.
Hey look at that, even though everything else about reality is off in 2026, comedic timing is on point.
It might actually be funny if it was all just a joke instead of hypocrisy for the sake of rubbing in what they can get away with. Which is pretty much anything.
My first thought was what the hell is going down in Geogia? then I realised this isn’t about the nation in the Caucasus, but in the US, so that tracks.

Blessed be the fruit
The police investigator obtaining the warrant wrote that Moore told the nursing staff: “I know my infant is suffering, because I am the one who did the abortion. I want her to die.”
That reads like planted testimony, and if it comes to court, it needs to be VERY well stated that it is a 3rd person account, and not a direct admission of guilt.
There’s no guilt to be had no matter what she said. Her body started to create a baby that she didn’t want, so she aborted it. Case closed. There’s nothing wrong with that.
You’re equivocating “guilt” as in feeling at fault/remorseful about doing something immoral (the definition you used), with “guilt” as in it being proven that she violated a law (the definition @chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world used).
I meant guilt, as in legally.

We failed her. That’s pretty much it.
Her and others. Once more women see this article they’ll be reluctant to get life-saving treatment which will result in many unnecessary deaths.
She should seek asylum in a blue state. I’m serious, put that in play cause this is medieval shit they are trying to do and it should be fought as such.
Ah darn can’t make it there before a Flock camera catalogs the car you’re riding in and state police immediately intercept you.
