18-year-old Syeisha Johnson was charged with assault inflicting serious bodily injury on an unborn child, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and negligent child abuse inflicting serious bodily injury after allegedly taking the abortion pills mifepristone and misoprostol to end a pregnancy at 31 weeks in July. Her boyfriend was also arrested and charged with negligent child abuse.
Johnson found out she was pregnant at 20 weeks in June, and then ordered the abortion pills online to be shipped from Virginia. According to the police report: “On July 29, 2026 Ms. Johnson began having abdominal pain and sat down during the day to help with the pain. She sat on the toilet and gave birth to a child.”
Johnson turned 18 in June, meaning she was past the North Carolina requirement for minors to get parental permission for an abortion, however the state bans most abortions after 12 weeks.
Her story comes the same week a recording was released of a call between acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and faith leaders, where Blanche promised that the Trump administration would work to ban mail-order abortion pills nationwide.
If a human being grafted themselves to me without informed consent, needing my body to continue living, yeah its fine for me to kill them. I think they even made a pretty good movie about that.
Not surprising you think a literal child can consent.
You do relize that the baby had no say in this, yes? It has been placed in this situation with no say.
The baby never consented to be placed in the womb.
The 17 year old little girl, you pedophile. Have you ever seen a 17 year old? Talked to one? They're so intensely children even when they're educated.
Being too old for you to fuck doesn't make someone an adult.
Why do you even pretend to be pro-choice?
Because i am.
Is it so hard do fathom for you that a stance can be more nuanced than 100 % yes or no, regardless of circumstances?
You’re up and down this comment section tut-tutting about how wrong this teenager is and ignoring the circumstances that forced her there because you’re from Europe.
