Woman Plotted to Kill Rival's Unborn Child

(AP)  A New York City woman faces charges that she tricked her husband's pregnant mistress into taking a drug that would cause an abortion.

Police say Kisha Jones used a doctor's prescription pad to order the medication.

They say she then phoned the victim pretending to be from her obstetrician's office and told her to pick up the drug at the pharmacy and take it right away.

The woman fell for the trick, but the baby survived the premature labor.

Authorities say the woman then tried to kill again.

They say she sent a tainted liquid to the hospital saying it was breast milk and tried to get nurses to feed it to the baby.

Hospital staff called police.

Jones was in custody awaiting arraignment. It was unclear when she would get a lawyer.

There are laws now on the books in most states that consider killing the unborn and wanted child of a woman pre-birth to be manslaughter.

It's only not "human" if the mother doesn't want it.

Your mother gets to decide whether you're a human being or trash.

He.ll hath no fury like a woman scorned. The wife could have pursued many legal options to rectify this situation. Trying to murder an unborn child is not one that comes to me. While I would never condone such a horrible, sadistic act, people who cheat are just unreal to me. Why not just file for divorce? He's a slimeball to begin with. Was she fighting to keep him? I'd kick him out like he deserves. Let her have him. Now, her life is over as she knows it, the baby lived (thank goodness) and they are free to be together now. Dumb woman.

Jones is a wicked women. With that said the other women should not have been sleeping with a married man. With over 8 million people in N.Y. she couldn't find her own man???
