A Tennessee woman who is accused of trying to abort her fetus at 24 weeks with a coat hanger last year is facing new felony charges, in a case that has raised concerns among some abortion-rights advocates over strict abortion laws.

The case concerning the woman, Anna Yocca, 32, has wound its way through the courts in Rutherford County for nearly a year, seesawing between multiple charges in three indictments as she has continued to sit in a central Tennessee jail.

On Monday, Ms. Yocca was arraigned on new charges: aggravated assault, an attempt to procure a miscarriage and an attempted criminal abortion. She entered a plea of not guilty, The Daily News Journal reported.

Practicing medicine without a license?

If she let PP sell the body, would it then be okay?

I’ve never been a holier than thou type.

You get pregnant and pop is a maniac that will clobber you or whatever, that’s hard.

But it’s a life now.

You gotta deal with it. Even if you give the baby away.

I rolled the dice plenty of times when I was younger. Got lucky I guess.

Why should I lie?

It was a sin, I was wrong, and i could have been a pop at 17.

Thank goodness cause you don’t have much of a say as a guy and a abortion would have killed me.

She could have gone to Planned Parenthood, I’d imagine. I’d say this is an idiot.

“The police report, quoting unidentified physicians, blamed Ms. Yocca’s probing with the hanger, but it offered no medical evidence for what the indictment called bodily injury, and similar health problems are often associated with extreme prematurity.”

The New York Times always, always defends abortion and babykillers. Twisted, evil _____s (fill in the blank with your choice of appropriate bad word).

Show her a video of someone burning in hell. That may change her thinking.

The use of a coat hanger for abortion is a myth perpetrated by Planned Parenthood ... so chalk this woman up as another one of their victims.
