A 26-year-old woman in Texas was arrested and charged with murder after what authorities claimed was a “self-induced abortion,” the Associated Press reported Saturday.
Lizelle Herrera was arrested Thursday in Starr County, a county along the Rio Grande and the country’s southern border with Mexico. In a statement to the AP, the local sheriff’s office said that Herrera was charged after “intentionally and knowingly causing the death of an individual by self-induced abortion,” without providing details of which legal statute she had violated.
… Herrera’s bail had been set at $500,000 and she was being held at the Starr County jail in Rio Grande City.

RIO GRANDE CITY, Texas — A Texas district attorney said Sunday that he will ask a judge to dismiss a murder charge against a woman who allegedly gave herself an abortion.
Lizelle Herrera was arrested Thursday in Rio Grande City, a community of about 14,000 people along the Mexico border, after a Starr County grand jury indicted her on March 30 for murder for causing the death of a fetus or embryo through a self-induced abortion.
District Attorney Gocha Allen Ramirez said Sunday that his office would move to dismiss the charge Monday.
“In reviewing this case, it is clear that Ms. Herrera cannot and should not be prosecuted for the allegation against her,” Ramirez said in a statement.

Maybe. After 7 weeks of gestation.
(Should have included the "7 weeks" in my earlier post. Not every abortion will qualify for the $10 awards to stoolies.)
Of course, most women wouldn't even know they were pregnant until well after that.

And how are they going to know it was after 7 weeks? They'd have to be able to figure out the exact date of conception, and again, good luck getting that information from the woman and/or her partner.

They don't owe court fees if they bring a bad case.

Suing someone takes more than filling in a form and waiting for your check. Have to retain a lawyer, then your life is a string of court dates. Not to mention the media and special interest circus it will spawn for at least the first few attempts. Then you get to do it all over again for the appeals, especially for those first few cases until the case law gets the rule established or shot down. Even if someone else pays your legal fees and you still end up with 10K when it's over, your life will be ruined. Enjoy!

So they can just take a free shot.

I'm just waiting for the first woman to be arrested for having a miscarriage. Because 15-20% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage. My beloved wife experienced two.
I do not understand the self hatred that allows Texan women to justify this law.
