    Yep. Know why she did it? Desperation + living in a state that already made it hard to get abortions, but also doesn’t provide good prenatal care. Nebraska has one of the higher infant mortality rates in the country (though it still pales in comparison to Mississippi).

          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.

              Ok. 7 months abortion is not ok.

              Especially without a medical professional and then hiding the body.

                Th fact that this seems to be controversial worries me.

                  Abortion should be completely legal at any trimester. That’s what it means to have a right to bodily autonomy. Pretending that abortion is murder, but not if it’s before some arbitrary trimester limit, makes a mockery of the pro-life position. If it’s murder or “wrong” after a certain week, then it’s murder before that time has passed too. Pro-lifers lie and say they want to “compromise”. They’ve successfully tricked the population into thinking term limits actually are humane, without you considering the arguments why we should or should not have them in the first place.

            28 weeks is about 7 months.
