A Texas woman was arrested and charged with murder after she allegedly terminated her own pregnancy.
Lizelle Herrera, 26, was arrested Thursday after she 'intentionally and knowingly caused the death of an individual by self-induced abortion,' police said.
It is unclear how far along Herrera was in her pregnancy, but Texas ban all abortions after the first detection of an embryonic 'heartbeat,' which can be detected as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
Herrera is currently being held at the Starr County Jail on a $500,000 bond while authorities investigate, KVEO reported.
The Starr County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
La Frontera Fund, a Texas-based abortion assistance fund, held a protest outside of the Starr County Jail on Saturday morning demanding Herrera's release.
'This arrest is inhumane. We are demanding the immediate release of Lizelle Herrera,' Rockie Gonzalez, founder and board chair of Frontera Fund, told KSTX. 'What is alleged is that she was in the hospital and had a miscarriage and divulged some information to hospital staff, who then reported her to the police.'
The organization, which acknowledged that details surrounding Herrera's arrest are still only preliminary, also criticized the recently passed Texas Heartbeat Act.

Good, abortions should be banned from conception forward, and my empathy is for the babies murdered between conception and birth by their own mothers.
We have become a society of animals.
She had options. She could have even left the state. Make an example out of her and send her up the river. Texas is now PRO LIFE.
Partly that and partly she wanted to “challenge the system” because roe vs wade gave her the “right to choose” well that is all over and Texas found a loophole. She is about to find out the hard way.
What do you bet she is a beloved kindergarten teacher and mother of 3 that the Dems have set-up to be the face of this?
I wish you’d stop it because I search and I really can’t help it if someone else uses a different source than I do. Every time you do this it’s always a different article that did NOT come up when I searched.
Same ones on here against abortion are ok with it if fetal tissue is used for vaccines.
I didn’t take the vaccine for that reason too. The way I figure is I’m the “Control Group” in all of this.
Welcome to the next front in the battle for the unborn. The War over this case will be huge and monumental. The Left has their big issue going into the mid terms and both bases will be highly mobilized.
What is so sad about abortion is many childless couples that can not have a child desperately want these babies. They would be given a loving home.
The act of abortion is a selfish act of convenience by the mother often with pressure by the father. That baby is wanted by others.
Please take the pregnancy to term and give your gift of life to those that want it in the extreme. They will pay your expenses of the pregnancy and birth. Just do what is moral.

In Ecuador there’s a women in prison for life because she was accused of murdering her baby - she had a miscarriage.
I do not believe this. Some staged sheet.
Cut her ovaries from her body and release her.
Better twice than never.
‘What is alleged is that she was in the hospital and had a miscarriage and divulged some information to hospital staff, who then reported her to the police.’
If these beotches so desperately want to continue to kill their own children, they’re going to have to learn to shoot, shovel and SHUT UP.
Ghouls.
These situations anger me to no end! Right now, we have a Great Niece dealing with her baby who was born with a heart defect. It’s a matter of keeping her alive so she can have additional heart surgeries and then, if all does well, when she’s older, a full heart transplant! There isn’t any other way to ‘fix’ her. :(
A BIL & SIL had been trying for AGES to have a second child. After nearly ten years of trying, they had a full term pregnancy, baby was delivered deceased due to the cord wrapped around her neck. They lost the next pregnancy and now they have premie twin girls to care for that have a whole host of issues to deal with until they are bigger and stronger.
I mean, when there are parents out there that so desperately WANT a family, and these beotches just throw their babies away like so much trash, it just breaks my heart. :(
People here are applauding, but I think this is a “false flag” operation, where the prosecutor deliberately over charged in hopes it will result in the whole law being declared unconstitutional.
La Frontera Fund —one of those special funds for special people. Wonder if it is tax payer funded?
How many other “special gifts” is she entitled too?
