Amy Robach

Hey there, folks.

It is Friday, March 20th.

And a woman in Georgia is sitting in jail as we speak.

And she is facing charges for killing her own child through a botched, self-given abortion.

And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes.

This is a rare and a almost first of its kind, potentially, case.

But that is what this woman is accused of doing, trying to give herself, terminate her own pregnancy.

And that's the reason we know it, because she had to go to a hospital.

And so, as awful as this is and it sounds, she went to the hospital and gave birth.

Do I have that correct?

And the baby only survived a short time, but she went to the hospital and gave birth is what the prosecutors, the police right now are alleging.

So two things there, Robes.

One, yes, the law says it can't be administered after six weeks, which I understand most women don't even realize they're pregnant after six weeks, a lot of time.

The law is restrictive.

But the other thing, Robes, that happened here with her is that the medicine she took

is specifically stated it's only supposed to be taken up to a certain point, a point that she, according to the law enforcement, was way beyond.

And she took it.

They say she also tried to take some pain.

Now, is it your understanding she was taking that for herself or is that a part of the abort?

At this point, that's a good way to, I mean, Rose, you said it.
