Nebraska Mother Sentenced to 2 Years for Providing Abortion Pills to Teen Daughter

Jessica Burgess helped her 17-year-old daughter obtain abortion pills and dispose of the fetus, violating Nebraska's 20-week abortion ban.
Burgess pled guilty to tampering with remains, false reporting, and performing an illegal late-term abortion.
Burgess' daughter Celeste was sentenced to 90 days in jail for helping dispose of the fetus.
The case has sparked debate about abortion access and prosecution of those who self-manage abortions.
Abortion advocates argue Burgess shouldn't have been criminalized as self-managed abortion is not illegal in Nebraska.
