US mother sentenced to two years in prison for giving daughter abortion pills
Jessica Burgess pleaded guilty in July to providing an abortion after 20 weeks and tampering with human remains
The GuardianAbortion after 20 weeks sounds kinda extreme though. Most countries stop at 15.
It does, that’s five months, but it may well be because she didn’t have access before that point, which is obviously horrific.
That would be horrific but a lot of people here are assuming.
Considering the article states that she didn’t have enough money to have a funeral for the fetus, I don’t think she had the means to raise a child. It’s impossible to “get around to” doing something that isn’t offered easily and affordably. I don’t think giving her child abortion pills when she was over 20 weeks pregnant was her first choice, I think it was a move of desperation.
Who the hell has a funeral for an abortion?
From the article: > her family could not have afforded a funeral for fetal remains, according to Courthouse News. (In a financial affidavit obtained by Vice, Jessica Burgess said she had $400 to her name.)
