Bulletin: Kenlissia Jones: Georgia drops murder charge against woman who induced abortion - but is pursuing a drug possession count against the 23-year-old woman also accused of ending her pregnancy without a prescription, using pills she bought online.

A Georgia prosecutor dropped a murder charge Wednesday but is pursuing a drug possession count against a 23-year-old woman accused of ending her pregnancy without a prescription, using pills she bought online. Dougherty County District Attorney Greg Edwards dismissed a malice murder charge against Kenlissia Jones, who spent about three days in jail after seeking help at a hospital. But he said Jones still faces a misdemeanor charge of possessing a dangerous drug, which Georgia law defines as any drug requiring a prescription. The dismissal of the murder charge police had used to arrest Jones was praised by Lynn Paltrow, an attorney and executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women in New York.
