A Nebraska mother who pleaded guilty to giving her teenage daughter pills for an abortion and helping to burn and bury the fetus was sentenced Friday to two years in prison.
“Here's the audacity: Self-managed abortion is not even a crime in fucking Nebraska,” an advocate told Jezebel. The case is a harbinger of more criminalization.
Prosecutors say the women discussed ending the pregnancy and destroying the evidence. Police then found the burned fetal remains buried in a field north of Norfolk.
Officials said Jessica Burgess ordered the pills online and gave them to her daughter well into the teen’s third trimester, violating Nebraska law at the time.

A Nebraska woman was sentenced to prison for illegally giving her daughter abortion pills she had obtained online then burning and burying the fetus while lying to investigators about it.
The Nebraska woman was charged after police found her private Facebook messages, which revealed plans she had with her daughter to end the pregnancy and “burn the evidence.”
