A woman in the UK has been sentenced to more than two years after she took abortion pills beyond the legal limit of 10 weeks, intentionally killing her baby beyond the legal limit of 24 weeks. She is believed to have been 32 weeks pregnant at the time she took the pills.<\/p>\n

According to The Guardian<\/a>, the woman, Carla Foster, was able to access the abortion pill regimen by mail by lying to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) \u2014 the UK’s largest abortion business \u2014 and saying she was less than 10 weeks pregnant. In reality, it is believed she was 28 weeks \u2014 which is about six to seven months \u2014 when she got the pills. However, after the child, Lily<\/a>, was delivered, doctors determined she was at least 32 weeks. A coroner’s report revealed the baby did not breathe at birth.<\/p>\n

After Foster took the pills, she was admitted to the hospital for an emergency complication. Police were called by the hospital staff and Foster told police she had lied to BPAS about how far along she was in her pregnancy in order to secure the pills. She also used Google to search: “I need to have an abortion but I’m past 24 weeks” and “Could I go to jail for aborting my baby at 30 weeks.”<\/p>\n
