31-year-old woman booked for murder in Georgia, America. A baby girl born alive died after taking abortion pills when she was 6 months pregnant. This is the first such case under the state’s strict abortion law.
A case of murder has been registered against a 31-year-old woman in Georgia, America. It is alleged that she consumed abortion pills and gave birth to a child, who later died. This case is of Alexia Moore, a resident of Kingsland, Georgia, against whom the police has registered a case under serious sections. This is the first such case to come to light after strict laws regarding abortion were made in Georgia.
How did the matter come to light
This incident happened in December last year. Alexia was about six months pregnant. She took a drug called ‘Misoprostol’ for abortion and a very high dose of painkiller ‘Oxycodone’. After this his health deteriorated and he was admitted to the hospital. There Alexia gave birth to a baby girl, but the baby died just an hour after birth.
What are the police allegations?
Police argue that the baby was born alive and died due to Alexia’s deliberate action. According to reports, traces of oxycodone have also been found in the girl’s blood. What made Alexia difficult was Georgia law, which states that it is illegal to have an abortion if the baby begins to have a heartbeat (usually after 6 weeks).
Controversy and protest started
Alexia Moore is being held in the Camden County Jail. After being accused of murder in this case, human rights activists and organizations advocating abortion rights have come out in protest. He says that criminalizing women who undergo abortion is unfortunate and will have a negative impact on women’s health and rights. The trial of this case is going to start soon, which has once again sparked a debate on abortion laws in America.
