This one's been making the rounds from several sources: 19 year old gets life in prison for causing wanted miscarriage:
Gerardo Flores received an automatic life sentence because prosecutors did not seek the death penalty, which was available under the state's 2003 fetus protection law.
Erica Basoria, 17, acknowledged asking Flores to help end her pregnancy; she could not be prosecuted because of her legal right to abortion.
Sourced that one from a link at Sensible Erection. Over at Backup Brain, tom linked to The Washington Monthly report, and there was a quick link over at Genehack.
