In Tennessee, a woman has been charged with attempted first-degree murder for trying to induce an abortion with a coat hanger. Anna Yocca was arrested last week after being rushed to the hospital, where doctors delivered her 1.5-pound, 24-week baby. In a statement, the Tennessee-based reproductive justice group SisterReach said: “Our greatest fear has come to pass, and it could have been avoided. Women are attempting to self-abort due to restrictive abortion and punitive fetal assault legislation.”
