"A woman who allegedly took abortion-inducing pills, after which the baby was delivered and later died, has been arrested and charged with murder."
"Judge Steven G. Blackerby expressed concerns about the charge, stating, 'I think that charge is extremely problematic. That is going to be a hard charge to convict upon.'"
"Moore was arrested two months later, with the warrant stating that she 'unlawfully and with malice aforethought caused the death of Baby Girl Moore.'"
A Georgia woman, Alexia Moore, has been charged with murder after allegedly taking misoprostol pills, resulting in the death of her newborn. The baby girl was delivered but died shortly after. Concerns were raised by a judge regarding the validity of the murder charge, which states that Moore caused the death of her child with malice aforethought. Additionally, Moore faces a felony drug possession charge for having oxycodone without a prescription. The case follows the implementation of restrictive abortion laws in Georgia after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
