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.
In Nebraska or most other red states, could be having an abortion at all. Did you miss SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade using, I kid you not, quotes from the 1600s in their reasoning?
Not American, the most I hear are when new presidents are elected or the occasional riots.
I’m not American either, but since my country catches a cold when the US sneezes, I keep tabs on what’s happening over there…
Well put, and we’re (some of us at least are) sorry about that cold you caught.
It’s ok, I know that the ones with the decency to feel bad about it aren’t the ones constantly getting us sick 😉
This girl could have had a legal abortion in the first 5 months of the pregnancy. Abortion is legal where she is, Roe v Wade being repealed changed nothing.
As for Roe v Wade, even those that are pro-abortion like myself can understand why it was overturned. Abortions aren’t a “privacy” issue like Roe v Wade was used to claim they are.
