Yaribely Almonte is accused of taking an herbal tea in order to abort her unborn baby. She wrapped the baby’s 7 inch long body and put it in the dumpster of the appartment building where she had a temporary residence. News sources are not in agreement on the sex of the baby.
The body was found by the building custodian who was sorting recyclables from the dumpster.
New York law allows abortions up to 24 weeks for any reason, but later term abortions are allowed only to “save the life of the mother”, (although there is not such a necessity to kill a baby before delivering in order to save the mother in todays medical environment.)
Almonte joins only four other women who have been charged with self abortion in New York in the last three decades. This charge has been reserved for abortions done after 24 weeks. The age of this baby has not yet been determined.
New York City has a high concentration of practicing abortionists, but this has not stopped a preference for home abortions among some of the subcultures there. Perhaps these people don’t trust the abortion providers.
