Which statement describes Self Abortion 1st (Class A Misdemeanor)?

Which statement describes Self Abortion 1st (Class A Misdemeanor)?

• A. Self Abortion 2nd + woman is 24 weeks pregnant or more + miscarriage
• B. Self Abortion 2nd (Class B Misdemeanor)
• C. Abortion 1st (Class D Felony)
• D. Abortion 2nd (Class E Felony)

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how gestational age and the outcome determine the offense level for self-induced abortion. In this framework, a late-term situation—when the woman is 24 weeks pregnant or more and a miscarriage occurs—gets classified as the most serious form within self-induced abortion offenses, a Class A Misdemeanor. That combination, late gestation plus miscarriage, is what drives the first-degree designation in this area, which is why the statement describing late-term self-induced abortion with miscarriage aligns with Self Abortion 1st. The other options describe different gestational thresholds or separate abortion offenses (such as earlier gestation or different felony classifications) that don’t match the late-term, highest-severity scenario.
