Tegan Leach, who is 19, allegedly took misoprostol (not RU486 as some media reports <A target="_blank" href="http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25623585-23289,00.html">are stating</A>) to induce a miscarriage around eight weeks into her unwanted pregnancy.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://newmatilda.com/2009/07/02/you-can039t-be-just-little-bit-prochoice">Her partner, Sergie Brennan, was charged with procuring and supplying drugs to procure an abortion.

"Unfortunately the Government has not listened to what we have been saying for the past three years [since they were given permission to dispense RU486] — that the law on abortion dates from the 19th century and needs updating, or in my opinion, decriminalisation," she said.
