SINGAPORE – Wanting to terminate her pregnancy, an unmarried young woman consumed abortion pills she had bought online and gave birth later that day to a baby girl in a bathroom of her home.
The infant died less than two hours later. An autopsy revealed that her gestational age was around 29 to 33 weeks.
The baby’s mother, who was then around 23 years old, later told investigators that she did not undergo legal abortion as she found the procedure to be expensive, and she was afraid her parents would find out about it.
