South Carolina Woman Arrested for Aborting Pregnancy

Quote

A South Carolina woman was arrested earlier this week and charged with performing or soliciting an abortion.

The incident report says the woman told medical personnel she had taken abortion pills to end a pregnancy. State law prohibits self-medication to abort a pregnancy. The fetus was stillborn and was determined to be 25 weeks and four days, according to the incident report.
