The misogynist minions of the anti-choice movement suffer from a sickness in the head. By itself, just the arrogance of assuming that they are fit to judge anyone else's life, is a grotesque psychopathology. They should seek help.
 
At least she's been bailed out. Half a mil for doing something which is not illegal.

Texas woman, 26, charged with murder over ‘self-induced abortion’

Law enforcement official confirms arrest and charge but police do not say under which law Lizelle Herrera charged

Even the article admits this is a bogus charge.

Texas law exempts Herrera from a criminal homicide charge for aborting her own pregnancy, University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck said.​
​
Homicide “doesn’t apply to the murder of an unborn child if the conduct charged is ‘conduct committed by the mother of the unborn child’,” Vladeck said.​

So traumatic for this woman :( but she's got an excellent case to take to the federal level. I hope she takes this all the way.

Maybe. A couple of lines up in the article:

It was unclear whether Lizelle Herrera was accused of having an abortion or whether she helped someone else get an abortion.​

The DA dismissed the murder charge.

Actually, in some other articles about this, it says she went to the hospital after having a miscarriage and told her doctors something and was then reported to the government. There goes medical privacy.

Somehow, I doubt this will be an isolated case.
 
She was indicted by a grand jury. The DA has some explaining to do..
