Georgia Woman Charged with Murder After Alleged Abortion-Pill Use

A 31-year-old Georgia woman, Alexia Moore, has been charged with murder after police say she used abortion pills to terminate a pregnancy in violation of Georgia’s heartbeat-law; prosecutors must decide whether to indict, potentially making this one of the first murder charges tied to terminating a pregnancy in the state since the 2019 law. The arrest warrant says the fetus was 22–24 weeks and survived about an hour after birth, and Moore allegedly obtained misoprostol and oxycodone.
