Jessica Burgess pleaded guilty in July to providing an abortion after 20 weeks and tampering with human remains
She’s a political prisoner
Also a victim of religiously motivated terrorism.
This is some dystopian shit.
Absolutely ridiculous. Fuck Republicans.

Abortion 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.
And that’s not much of an excuse. Should we allow her to do a 9 month abortion because she couldn’t get around to it earlier? No.
With all due respect (which is none), that’s dingbattery.
I just checked planned parenthood in my province (of Canada) and they typically offer services for medical (pill) abortion up to 11 weeks GA (gestation age) and surgical abortion up to 25 weeks GA.
You get downvoted hard, but I’m not sure why. I think we all agree that putting someone into prison for an abortion is controversial at best. However, 20 weeks into pregnancy… that’s only 2 weeks before it’s considered to have a chance of survival at a premature birth.
At one point does it become murder? What if you kill your child right after a premature birth? I’m sure we all agree that’s bad. So it’s okay to kill the child if it’s inside the womb, but not once it gets out? You have to put a limit somewhere, and you have to enforce that limit or you might as well not set it.
Again, I’m not against abortions, but 20 weeks… man… that’s rough.
Twenty weeks is a whole half of a month to a full month before it considered to have a CHANCE of survival, and a premature birth at 5 months, is only survivable with extraordinary medical interventions and is likely to result in Life long complications.
At what point does it become murder? When it’s completely viable, and not a second before.
No one has an abortion at 20 weeks for any reason but a good one. When you had your abortion, what reason did you have?
Third trimester was the no kill zone for a long time.
