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.
Why is 28 any different than 2? Tf does it matter?
In short: Fetuses are viable outside the womb by that point, and no US state has ever allowed abortions that late into pregnancy.
Well at some point the fetus becomes a human and abortion becomes murder. There is a lot of debate where that line is.
Actually there is no debate. It’s called a fetus until it is born. It doesn’t suddenly turn into a person with superior rights because some other person suddenly decides that now the woman lost the rights to her own body.
