SALEM, Mass. (AP) — A Lawrence teenager who was accused of taking anti-ulcer pills to induce an abortion has been given pretrial probation.

Amber Abreu was 18 when she prematurely delivered a baby girl weighing just 1 1/4 pounds at a Lawrence hospital in January 2007. The baby died, and Abreu was indicted by an Essex County grand jury on a charge of procuring a miscarriage.

Salem Superior Court Judge David Lowy Monday ordered Abreu to have mental health treatment as appropriate. If she complies with the order, the case will be dismissed in April 2009.

Prosecutors alleged that Abreu had taken the drug Misoprostol in an attempt to miscarry the baby.

Thanks for that link. That sucks.

Edit: As mentioned to parrot_lady, it sounds like an activist DA who's willing to lie to a grand jury to try and get Roe v. Wade overturned.
