Georgia woman charged with murder after police say she took pills to induce an abortion
Alexia Moore is charged with felony murder after allegedly taking abortion pills at 22-24 weeks; the newborn survived about an hour before dying, police said.
- Authorities in Camden County filed a felony murder warrant against Alexia Moore on March 5, alleging she took abortion pills and Oxycodone, resulting in the birth and death of a premature infant.
- Police allege Moore was 22-24 weeks pregnant when she induced the abortion, violating Georgia's LIFE Act, which restricts abortion after cardiac activity is detected at approximately six weeks.
- Arriving at a hospital on Dec. 30, Moore allegedly told staff, "I know my infant is suffering, because I am the one who did the abortion," according to the arrest warrant.
- Currently jailed without bond, Moore faces potential prosecution by District Attorney Keith Higgins, who must first obtain an indictment from a grand jury.
- A 2024 study by Pregnancy Justice found at least 210 women were charged with pregnancy-related crimes in the 12 months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
