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.
She was 17 years old, found out she was pregnant at 20 weeks, and had to wait until she was legally an adult to do anything. Add in a lack of sex education and what the pills do specifically and you have a tragic case like this.
If abortion had been a legally viable option for her, this wouldn't have happened.
It's disgusting to post photos like this by the way. It's not her fault she didn't have options - it's the government's overreach into women's healthcare that is at fault here.
Pregnancy and birth are threats to a woman's life as a reminder.
I agree to most of what you said. But.
If you arrive at 31 weeks, regardless of how unfair and fucked up the circumstances where thad lead to this point, you shoudn't abort in my opinion.
Hell, i know it sucks. I am so fucking sry for the poor girl that has been brought into a situation like this by bigoted assholes that denied her a right to abortion and sex edd to prevent it in the first place.
But she had an option left. She had the option to go trough with it and give the baby away. And i know that sucks. But at that point, i personally think it would have been the more humane option.
I posted them to show why i think this way, not to shame the poor girl. I don't blame her, it is, as you pointed out, not her fault.
Going through with birth is more risky to the mother’s life than you want to acknowledge here.
She was a teenager.
So, I've never been pregnant, but you obviously haven't either. You do not understand or care about the risks and costs associated. You're just here to punish AFAB people for being too old for you to fuck.
If you actually cared about the lives of children, you'd be on /fuckcars. You'd be fighting against environmental contaminants that disproportionally kill children. You'd be punishing paid trained equipped cops for not stopping school shooters, you would've fucking suicide bombed the fucking uvalde police department for not letting concerned parents try to eave their kids.
You don't give a shit about the lives of children. That's the common thread between all of those things, you see; children die in preventable ways, people nobody can argue are children, because they're running around putting crap in their mouths and asking stupid questions and learning to read. No you hate women (and nb's and trans people when you think of then) and want them to suffer for committing a sin.
I have kind of a headache and I woke up really early, but just for you I'm going to have sex with at least three people tonight. I know at least one of them has a dick and at least one of them has a pussy and its going to be all your fault. The two I know are kind of annoying so I'm going to need to keep them from talking one way or another.
