☆ Woman Who Was Charged With Murder After Abortion Sues Texas Prosecutor
  + stars: | 2024-03-30 | by ( Anna Betts | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A woman in Texas who was falsely charged with murder over a self-induced abortion in 2022 has filed a lawsuit against the local prosecutor’s office and its leaders, seeking more than $1 million in damages. Lizelle Gonzalez was arrested in April 2022 in Starr County, near the southeastern border with Mexico, and charged with murder after using the drug misoprostol to self-induce an abortion, 19 weeks into her pregnancy. Self-induced abortions can refer to those performed outside of professional medical care, including the use of abortion pills. Under Texas law at the time, abortions after six weeks were illegal, but pregnant women are exempt from criminal prosecution. (Health care professionals who provide abortion procedures and medication, and others who help someone get an abortion, can still be liable.)

☆ A Texas woman is being charged with murder after police say she performed a 'self-induced' abortion

KVEO reported that Texas police arrested a 26-year-old woman for allegedly performing a self-induced abortion. Abortion clinics in Texas have tried to block the law in court, arguing it would prohibit care for "at least 85% of Texas abortion patients." The Starr County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment asking for more information on the incident. "This is a developing story and we don't yet know all the details surrounding this tragic event," Gonzalez told Texas Public Radio. When SB 8 was introduced, abortion clinics in states neighboring Texas told Insider they were flooded with requests for reproductive healthcare from people who could no longer acquire it in Texas.
