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.
When the stupid was inflicted on purpose by the people doing the wrong to back the wrong, it pretty thoroughly absolves the victim. Unless you just like punishing girls.
Because I need to remind you, this was not a woman. This was a girl. She was a fucking child. Not that it really makes a difference to anyone not looking for a victim to string up.
What part of this could have killed the teen are you not getting?
So you're saying the people who deliberately kept her uneducated attempted murder?
I find it very important to phrase my opponent's arguments in terms they would agree with. You, apparently, have so such issues and will argue with a person you made up instead of the person you are talking with.
Kids do shit that can kill them all the time (love how you compromised on 'teen' after I pointed out she wasn't an adult) its not their job to just know, its our job to teach them and give them better options.
I didn't compromise. We agree. You are just so bent on lying about my position that you can't see otherwise b
You keep going on about how she should have had an abortion, but that wasn't an option for this teenager.
You are blaming the pregnant teenager. You have been this entire time.
What part of giving birth could have killed the teen that you aren't getting?
She had no better options because the government refuses to allow women to access appropriate healthcare.
I'm not getting it because I never said she should give birth. Not once. I stated I'm in favor of abortion. I disagree with the way she almost killed herself trying to solve this. Learn to read.
Are you fundamentally misunderstanding that she could not access an abortion?
We are done here. You can't separate perfect from the enemy of good. You constantly lie about my position. You refuse to acknowledge that taking the pill 16 weeks past the pills recommend usage period put her life at risk. We have common ground. But you are incapable of seeing it.
You get one reply and then I block you because of your toxicity. I have driven women I know and didn't to get abortions. I have distracted protestors to give women peace. I have donated to PP. But you are convinced that I want birth and are so stuck up your own that you think we disagree. This has been a sad conversation of a motivated person putting on a performance without reading the audience.
I won't actually read your reply because it will be in bad faith. I will just use it to indicate you read this before I block you.
Even allies have blind spots.
