Description
By the enactment of Chap. 351, P.L. 1881, the Legislature created two separate criminal offenses. The first, Sec. 1, now G.S. 14-44, is designed to protect the life of a child in ventre sa mere and makes it unlawful to prescribe or administer drugs to or perform an operation upon a ""woman, either pregnant or quick with child,"" with intent thereby to destroy said child. The second, Sec. 2, now G.S. 14-45, condemns the administration of drugs to or performance of an operation upon a ""pregnant woman . . . with intent thereby to procure a miscarriage of such woman, or to injure or destroy such woman,"" and is primarily for the protection of the woman.
