'A 31-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Kingsland, Georgia, has been charged with attempted murder, the first time that a mother has been charged under Georgia’s restrictive abortion law.
The arrest comes two months after Alexia Moore was rushed to the emergency room in Camden County, pregnant and in extreme pain. Doctors at the Southeast Georgia Health System hospital delivered a severely premature baby girl who lived for approximately two hours, according to police.
On March 4, Kingsland Police charged Moore with attempted murder and possession of a controlled substance and dangerous drug for what they allege was an attempted illegal abortion.
...the situation has created fear and anxiety for Moore’s 6-year-old and 9-year-old children, who don’t understand why their mother is in jail.
“As a mother, and me talking as a grandma, she’s an excellent mother. I believe her children are her life. She has been a good provider for her children,” Edith Moore said.
A security guard at Southeast Georgia Health System’s St. Marys hospital called local law enforcement to investigate Moore “after ER staff discovered that Moore had attempted to abort the child,” according to the arrest report. Moore’s friend, who came to the hospital on December 30, told a responding police officer that Moore had used the abortion medication misoprostol and had taken pain medication, according to the report.'
I'm keeping an eye out for any fundraisers that'll help her, whether for commissary, bond, or legal defenses. Will post when I find an update. Also, FUCK that security guard for reporting her. No empathy or personal integrity to be found.
