32 Year Old Woman Charged

(POCATELLO) – A Pocatello woman who police say performed an unlawful abortion on her unborn child has been formally charged. 32-year-old Jennie Linn McCormack will be arraigned June 10 for the felony unlawful termination of her pregnancy. KPVI reports that McCormack’s fetus was left in a box on a doorstep last December. If convicted, McCormack could spend up to 5 years in prison and pay a $5,000 fine.
In 2001 Idaho passed the Safe Haven Law, which allows parents to drop off babies less than 30 days old with emergency personnel, licensed physicians, advanced practice professional nurses, licensed physician assistants and hospitals.
