Alexia Moore was arrested under a Georgia law that bans abortions after detection of embryonic cardiac activity
A Georgia judge set a $1 bond for a woman facing murder charges tied to allegations she used abortion pills to end a pregnancy, potentially paving the way for a possible reduction or dismissal of charges.
Alexia Moore, 31, was arrested by police in Savannah earlier this month on a warrant that echoed a 2019 Georgia law banning abortions after embryonic cardiac activity can be detected.
Moore was charged with murder after police determined she 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”.
We really need to revisit the 8th amendment.
We really need to revisit the whole fucking constitution. Plenty of other countries have drafted and approved modern constitutions. We don’t need to hold on to this one because old and tradition.
But the current constitution isn’t even being followed. A modern one wouldn’t change that…
