Self Abortion Is A Misdemeanor?

An abortion is a-ok as long as you have a government subsidized company (Planned Parenthood) do it for you, but you can't do it yourself without it being a crime?

This is too weird:

The woman is accused of trying to kill her unborn baby, Oswego County Sheriff's deputies said.

The woman was arrested Monday. Deputies say that on April 4 the woman ingested several over-the-counter and prescription medications. Deputies say the woman was in her 13th week of the pregnancy at the time.

There are several comments on this story at the site, but I plucked this one for its accuracy.

The problem here is the woman did not continue to make the drug companies, stores and doctors richer by participatig in the system. As a means to force people to engage the system, laws are made to criminalize personal actions. However, when money flows in the right direction it is not a crime, its business.

Sounds about right to me.
