A 17-year-old from Nebraska and her mother are facing criminal charges including performing an illegal abortion and concealing a dead body after police obtained the pair’s private chat history from Facebook, court documents published by Motherboard show.
Abortion is legal in Nebraska, where this occurred, through the 20th week.
Fetuses are viable outside the womb at 24 weeks.
She even still went through labor and gave birth in this situation. She just took medicine to kill the fetus first. At that point is it really absurd to say she could have just not taken the meds and given it up for adoption?
