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.
Abortion after 20 weeks sounds kinda extreme though. Most countries stop at 15.
should be legal to yeet it and delete it
That’s a Tshirt that needs to be made in support of women’s rights
Yeet us the fetus
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.
Hmm…I wonder why it happened so late? I’m sure it couldn’t be that they were completely restricted from being able to access those services earlier in the pregnancy when it would have been better, easier, and safer. I’m sure they just overlooked those conveniently available, necessary medical abortion services that are so easy to find in Oklahoma.
Wait…
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.
So it’s okay to kill the child if it’s inside the womb, but not once it gets out?
You nailed it. It’s not a child when it’s inside the woman, so it’s not murder. Women get to decide what they do with their own body. I don’t know why that’s so goddamn difficult.
