18-year-old Nebraska woman sentenced to 90 days in jail for burning fetus after abortion

i consumed a lot of right wing media as a youth and even today...it just seems more correct to me, but i could be wrong, of course.

you are not wrong - the liberal left is a worldwide cult...

 

[Nihilianth]

actually, some good points there!

I admit i consumed a lot of right wing media as a youth and even today...it just seems more correct to me, but i could be wrong, of course...in general, politics, and details in general, intensely bore me

i also admit i'm not really a deep thinker, but generally support the status quo...i'm sure in 1776 i would have supported the crown

you obviously know your facts, and i've always respected that you're passionate in your writings and beliefs

also, i shouldn't even admit this, but i always thought it was Hamilton who killed Burr...now i know!

I come off as being rather brusque. Not just in this forum, but IRL as well. It isn't necessarily the fault of Republican voters that they ar so terribly misguided. Not everyone are all interested or knowledgeable in the same things.

Some people are motorheads. Some are deeply interested in science and technology. Some are into medicine like @Flatus Tube . I just happen to be big into history, politics, and statistics. In fact, I have a bachelor's in Western Civ. I'm thinking of going to get my Master's, with an archeology minor and get out of logistics. (I work for a medium-sized regional transportation company as a mid-level manager.)

So it isn't a bad thing to not be informed about history and politics, just like I'm not really into cars and tools. Everyone does have an interest in at least hearing some news and weather. So people not really into history and politics; they sit down in front of the TV after work and flip to a news channel. They run across the flashy, screaming 24 hour talking heads. The screaming talking heads are on TV saying things with such confidence and looking professional (if not acting professionally), and think they must know what they're talking about. And so, the 24 hour screaming talking heads can set whatever agenda they want, throw in magical key phrases like "freedom," "patriot," and "our founding fathers," and we have an entire population that knows nothing about ACTUAL history. Worse than knowing nothing; they are outright completely misinformed.

Uuuuuuuummmmmm...... I don't think that post by hedgerow is saying what you think it does... .

An 18-year-old northeastern Nebraska woman was sentenced Thursday to 90 days in jail and two years of probation for burning and burying a fetus she aborted with her mother’s help in a case watched by advocates as a slew of states move to restrict abortion access.

Celeste Burgess, of Norfolk, was sentenced in Madison County after pleading guilty earlier this year to concealing or abandoning a dead body. Two other misdemeanor charges of false reporting and concealing the death of another person were dropped, in an agreement with prosecutors.

The Court specifically finds that while probation is appropriate, confinement is necessary because without this confinement, it would depreciate the seriousness of the crime or promote disrespect for the law,” the judge’s order read.

Burgess and her mother, 42-year-old Jessica Burgess of Norfolk, are accused of working together to end the pregnancy. The abortion, well into her third trimester, violated Nebraska law at the time that banned abortion after 20 weeks of gestation. Officials have said Jessica Burgess ordered abortion pills online, which she gave to her then-17-year-old daughter in the spring of 2022

Jessica Burgess pleaded guilty earlier this month to providing an illegal abortion, false reporting and tampering with human skeletal remains. In exchange for her plea, charges of concealing the death of another person and abortion by someone other than a licensed physician were dismissed. She faces sentencing on Sept. 22.

Norfolk police detective opened an investigation into the abortion following a tip, according to an arrest affidavit. Police secured a search warrant to gain access to Facebook messages between the two, in which prosecutors say the women discussed terminating the pregnancy and destroying the evidence. Police then found the burned fetal remains buried in a field north of Norfolk.

In one of the Facebook messages, Jessica Burgess instructed her daughter on how to take the pills to end the pregnancy, according to court records. In another, Celeste Burgess wrote, “I will finally be able to wear jeans,” according to the documents.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s last year overturned Roe v. Wade, which for 50 years had established the constitutional right to abortion. Nebraska lawmakers who opposed Republican’s efforts to severely restrict abortion access in the legislative session that ended in June, repeatedly cited the Norfolk case, saying it shows state prosecutors would target women who seek abortions with criminal penalties.

Republicans in the officially nonpartisan Nebraska Legislature failed this year to enact a six-week ban on abortions, but later passed a 12-week ban after adding it as an amendment to another bill to limit gender-affirming care for transgender youth. Opponents say that violated a Nebraska constitutional requirement that legislative bills stick to a single View attachment 693755

....aaand it begins! An Abrahamic religion of the white variety with more blood on its hands.


Wait. What in the actual fuck are you talking about?

On the one hand you're supporting abortion and SS etc. On the other hand, you're blaming LIBERALS for the anti-abortion laws in RED states, and somehow strawmaningly tying that to the right wing trickle-down Reaganomics 40 year failure of an experiment and ALSO blaming liberals for conservatives pushing and voting for the bullshit that's caused 40 years of stagnant wages against rising prices, stock buybacks, and corporate CEOs hoarding all the cash?

Jesus, you're one confused motherfucker.

To be fair, republkkunts only make up like 38% of the US population. But they're spread so thin in all the shithole states that nobody else wants to live in, so they get way more representation in Congress due to how the outdated US Constitution gives those lightly populated shithole states voting power.

There are like, 30 US cities that each one by themselves have more voters than the entire state of Montana.

Wow, if your born after 2000, you are sadly and unmistakably WRONG ON EVERY DAMN THING!!!! AMAZING!!

No punishment at all!

Hopefully she gets another chance to soon! I support abortion to the 72nd trimester but only if we get to watch.
