Lincoln, July 22 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Nebraska, a teenager who used abortion pills to terminate her pregnancy has been sentenced to 90 days in jail.
Police charged 19-year-old Celeste Burgess and her mother, Jessica Burgess, who assisted her in getting the pills and disposing of the fetus, after Facebook handed over their private messages.
Celeste was just 17 when her mother ordered the pills online.
The events took place before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. At the time, abortion in Nebraska was banned after 20 weeks.
Earlier this year, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen signed a 12-week ban into law.
