Well, the damn Glob is useless, per usual, but I found this via Google. Better article, which states:
"Abreu was charged under an 1845 law against procuring a miscarriage, which Regan and Cahill argued could not be enforced because of the Roe v. Wade decision."
And there's more in there about misinformation given during the original grand jury. I still really wonder just who the hell decided she needed to be charged, cause there must be more going on than even this story is presenting.
Misoprostol is an anti ulcer drug (according to the 2006 lippincott's nursing drug hand book) it is also listed as an abortifacient drug- they advise women to be notified orally and in writting as well as having a NEGATIVE pregnancy serum test 2 weeks prior to starting on it- starting therapy on the 2-3rd day of the next menstrual cycle.
I wonder what in the hell the doctor was thinking prescribing this to her.
... WTF. Put the freaking doctor on trial as well.
No, I'm under the impression the woman purposefully took the drug to induce an abortion. It's possible she lied to the doctor, or obtained the drug illegally, in which case charges could be appropriate.
If you read the other article that hrfan linked, it looks like it's actually an activist district attorney who wishes to overturn Roe v. Wade and is willing to lie to a grand jury to do it.

Edit: As mentioned to parrot_lady, it sounds like an activist DA who's willing to lie to a grand jury to try and get Roe v. Wade overturned.
