"A Texas judge dismissed a murder charge Monday against a woman who was arrested in "the death of an individual by self-induced abortion," according to court documents. The court ruling came after the local district attorney filed a motion earlier Monday to dismiss the murder charge, citing insufficient evidence. "In reviewing applicable Texas law, it is clear that Ms. Herrera cannot and should not be prosecuted for the allegation against her," County District Attorney Gocha Allen Ramirez wrote in a news release Sunday.
It is unclear whether Herrera was accused of having a self-induced abortion or whether she helped someone else get an abortion, and the sheriff's office did not say under which law Herrera was charged. Herrera's case draws attention to the role class plays in Texas' abortion restrictions, "The injustice is that for women who can pay, their procedure remains private and out of the public eye. For those women who are poor, their difficult decision is turned into a public and even criminal spectacle," according to Domingo Garcia, national president of the League of United Latin American Citizens."
How are we gonna throw these whores in jail for this if we simply allow them to go free once we catch them?? The letter from this so-called district attorney is a disaster....she is the one who charged her in the first place, now she is going to turn around and claim that there was no legal basis to charge her for murder? So why do it in the first place?? Of course there is legal basis to charge her, she committed murder..what is so hard to understand about it?
How did it come to the attention of police that this woman committed murder?? Well it was thanks to the quick action of hospital staff....this murderous whore was in the hospital for a miscarriage; and hospital staff must have had good reason to believe the miscarriage was self induced and notified authorities....Yea, technically under Texas law, that's not technically murder...but I still think she should have been charged just to send a message...she would have still been locked up if it wasn't for a bunch of bleeding heart libs making a big fuss about it....
