A 29-year old woman was arrested last week for allegedly faking cancer to con the state of Arizona into using taxpayer money to pay for her late-term abortion.
According to KNXV, court documents say Chalice Renee Zeitner made up a story about having cancer in order to qualify for an abortion while on Arizona’s Medicaid insurance, and forged a doctor’s note to support her claim.
A doctor performed the abortion in 2010 when Zeitner was 22-weeks pregnant.
Arizona’s Medicaid will only pay for an abortion in cases of rape or incest or “medical necessity,” which include cases where the pregnancy causes or worsens a serious health risk to the mother, according to KNXV.
Zeitner’s aborted child was born alive. “The baby lived for approximately 20 minutes and received no life-saving measure by hospital staff,” according to documents.
Court documents say, “Zeitner claimed she had stage IV sarcoma in her abdomen and lower spine, had received chemotherapy and radiation treatments and was scheduled to receive a life-saving surgery in Boston.”
