Nebraska teen sent to 90 days in jail over abortion

Revolting that this is now a "crime."

These people care more about an unborn baby than they do about the baby after it's born. Actually sad.

If every one of these anti-abortion assholes want to start taking the babies of families who cannot raise them then it wouldn't be seen as just a disgustingly hypocritical movement. That is not the case. If you want to start forcing women to have babies they can't care for but you don't want to take care of the consequences of that, you are the problem.

Nobodies out here delivering fully sized aborted babies for shits and giggles. Pregnancies are painful and traumatic enough.

What a shithole State.

So weird to see people get bent out of shape over someone taking medication, especially since we do not have healthcare or childcare in this country.

Celeste Burgess, now 19, pleaded guilty to illegally concealing human remains after she had an abortion when around 28 weeks pregnant, beyond the 20-week limit then set by Nebraska law.

This was before the change in the law. It is certainly possible that there were medical issues or that Nebraska made it extremely difficult to get an abortion. I wish the article offered more details. 28 weeks is extremely late for an abortion.

Nebraska shit hole state. Never will I go there.

Just to point out something the headline is missing:

I'm the united states 99% of abortions happen before the 21st week. For every state that has any sort of time limit on abortion, the absolute latest is the 25th week.

At some point, there needs to be a cut off. At some point we should all be able to agree that the baby is too far along to be aborted. This girl took a pill at the 28th week, which was far beyond when it was designed to be taken.

Now I don't know if 28 weeks should be old enough for a criminal charge, but it's definitely not as black and white as the headline makes it seem

Wow this is so dehumanising that even though i live in India , which yall identify as a third world country feels like otherworldly shit !

Considering no one would want to have an abortion in the third trimester if they couldn't help it, this is either a situation of them being blocked from having an abortion at every turn earlier or a case where they wanted the baby, but found out that it was going to harm the mother and the state would do nothing about it because an unborn fetus trumps the life of the mother.

Seems News is just "US News". I gave up all interest in US politics after the 2016 primaries. Good luck with fixing your shit. I'm out.

You know Republican hoarding guns to keep a tyrannical government at bay? Well, this seems that tyrannical government.

Well done GOP/Nazi party. Putting young women in jail for taking control of their own bodies. Shame on you.

The article makes it sound like she didn't go to a doctor for this and her mother helped her get the pills and she took them super late in the pregnancy and then dumped the body. Any other articles that confirm the slant of this article?

hey theViscusOne, everyone can see you in this comment section you fucking collaborator. quit trying to convince people that this was the right thing you scum bag.

Regardless of the circumstances that may have led to this decision, this isn't a case worthy of outrage. There were 28-week preemies in the NICU when my daughter was there. While there's still growing to do at 28 weeks, this is a whole-ass baby, not just a bundle of cells.

This is beyond fucked.

A list of products coming for that place should be made public. So people could start a boicot on anything from there.

This is absolutely disgusting.... and yet this is how Nebraska voted in 2020:

You fucked around and now you found out.

I have a hard time feeling back for these people who year in, year out they vote for the same right wing fascists and then one day the policies those fascists support finally come back and bite them in the ass.

Murica, I can't wait to visit. /s

Jailed for the crime of not wanting to be forcibly bred.

This is the future republicans want.

I assume they will appeal as it is an unconstitutional crime they are being charged with.

For those who did not read the article:

She was 28 weeks (6.5 months) pregnant. The survival rate for babies born at at 28 weeks is 80%. ( source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1117667/ ). This wasn't a fetus, this was a fully formed baby.

I fully support right to choose, but this wasn't abortion...it was murder followed by coverup. Everyone getting riled up over the social justice of this has plenty of things to be riled up over these days, but this isn't one of those things.

A huge number of people did not read the article.

break the law? go to prison.

Third trimester. No.

Too light for a baby murderer

That's a really short sentence for murder.

Well, 90 days in jail is better than the sentence the baby received.

Only 90 days?
