Don't try this at home.
I can't even begin to comment on the irony of this situation, given the current legal climate and societal attitudes toward the unborn:
Imagine your confusion if you're this woman, having been brought up to believe that it's just a piece of tissue that you can flush away at any moment, and now you're accused of "killing an unborn baby"? Are we schizophrenic, or what?
A 24-year-old West Monroe woman is facing a charge of second-degree self abortion, a misdemeanor, and is accused of trying to kill her unborn baby, Oswego County Sheriff's deputies said.
The woman was arrested Monday. Deputies say that on April 4 the woman ingested several over-the-counter and prescription medications. Deputies say the woman was in her 13th week of the pregnancy at the time.
