I’m pretty sure it’s not a fetus anymore if the person is alive outside the mother.

I’m not a fan of minimum bail / minimum sentencing laws
This is why we have to have minimum bail / minimum sentencing laws.

$1 bail for what should be a murder charge?

Purpose of bail is to guarantee the defendent appears in court.

Yeah I didn’t see that part at first since the article didn’t flow properly

I heard a radio discussion of this case. A woman called and said "I support abortion rights but, absent extraordinary circumstances, you need to exercise those rights during the first six weeks."

I wonder if the ACLU or Planned Parenthood put her up to it
Wouldn't put it past them

Correct. I'm pro abortion and I HATE when progressives intentionally lie about situations like this.

yea i mean i hope she is convicted if she did it at 6 months
but bail is supposed to be because you are a flight risk or you are a danger to society....i have no problem with the $1 bail
still hope she is convicted if she did it.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-70% survival in the US and an average cost of $600,000. Not including the societal cost of a child being born and facing a harsh upbringing. Not that it matters, a life is a life, but there is more to it than simply surviving. 24 months is too late, in my opinion, unless the mothers life is endangered or she was unaware of the pregnancy earlier and in the latter case adoption is, in my male opinion, a better option.

That's 6 MONTHS pregnant, for those keeping score. This article and the law prohibiting abortion after 6 weeks will get passed around to bang the genocidal drum but an elective abortion at 6 months is unheard of virtually everywhere.
I was curious since progressives always point to Europe (which is hilarious by itself) as to how we should do things here.
quote:
1. Most countries (on request): ~10–14 weeks
The most common legal window for abortion for any reason is the first trimester
Many countries set limits around:
12 weeks (very common in Europe)
Sometimes up to 14–15 weeks
This is the standard baseline globally.
2. Some countries extend to ~18–24 weeks
A smaller group allows abortion later, often:
18–20 weeks
Up to ~24 weeks (viability) in places like:
the UK
the Netherlands
some others
Example: Colombia allows abortion on request up to 24 weeks
These are among the latest general limits for non-medical reasons.

There's more than just that. There is also a public threat portion of this pageant. I'm not saying she is, just pointing out bail is about more than just showing up.

it's ridiculous she murdered a baby

ut superior court judge Steven Blackerby said during a bond hearing on Monday that he thought the charge to be “extremely problematic”, adding: “I have concerns that the state would ever be able to secure a conviction of malice murder.”
What?
She was 6 months pregnant and admitted to attempting to kill the child.
The state will not have trouble securing a conviction, when the woman admitted it.

Took misoprostol and Oxy into her 6th month of pregnancy when viability for the baby was already possible (around either side of 50%) with odds getting better every week, and close to having the ability to have been made illegal under Roe.
The baby survived being forced out early for an hour. Just a horrible thing for her to do to her baby.
But it doesn’t appear the Georgia abortion law criminalizes the mother even at 24 weeks. Might be that the 2019 law was passed pre-Dodd and working within rulings with Roe still mostly intact before Dodd.
The police charged her without the DA for some reason, but the DA also wasn’t ready to drop the charges for some other reason even though he was doubtful a murder charged applied under the state law and case law which isn’t supposed to criminalize the mother but only criminalize those performing illegal abortions.
quote:
both DA Keith Higgins and Moore’s defense lawyer Kelly Turner pushed back on any charge linked to Georgia’s restrictive law called the LIFE Act…
Any malice murder charge against Moore is problematic “on a factual and merit basis,” Higgins told the judge, who concurred with Turner that Georgia case law prevents criminalizing a mother who induces an abortion herself, or miscarries.
… Keith Higgins, the district attorney, did not object to the bond in court and told the judge police did not consult his office before filing the charges.

The legal debate crystallized Monday between the 1998 Georgia Court of Appeals ruling that cleared mothers in Georgia for ending their own pregnancies and the 2019 LIFE Act that criminalizes medical or hospital staff for aborting a fetus older than six weeks is likely to be scrutinized throughout this election year.

A fetus is a fetus until it is delivered and can survive outside of the womb.
