A woman in Texas was charged with murder for a self-induced abortion.
26-year-old Lizelle Herrera now faces a murder charge.
According to authorities, Herrera intentionally and knowingly caused the death of an individual
by self-induced abortion.
The murder charges were eventually dropped because of the Texas law's inability to enforce
a criminal punishment on abortions.
Texas law does exempt women from facing a homicide charge for aborting their own pregnancy.
Today District Attorney Gocha Allen Ramirez announced the decision
to drop the charges against her entirely.
The Bible teaches that life begins at conception.
God said to the prophet Jeremiah,
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee,
and before thou camest forth out of the womb,
I sanctified thee and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
The truth is that there are currently no laws that punish abortions as murder.
But since an abortion ends the life of a human being, there should be.
