GREENVILLE, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A Greenville County woman was arrested and charged with soliciting or performing an abortion earlier this week.
The Greenville Police Department incident report said in October 2021 that emergency personnel took the then-33-year-old woman to St. Francis Hospital after having labor pains.
The unidentified woman reportedly told medical personnel she took an abortion pill in an attempt to abort her fetus. She delivered a stillborn baby girl that was determined to be at 25 weeks and four days gestation. A death investigation revealed she obtained and consumed the abortion pill illegally.
Reportedly, the Greenville County Coroner’s Office reported the incident to Greenville Police.
