It wasn't even alive. They should be allowed to do what they want with it.

Found an article that said the fetus was 29 weeks along which is well into the 3rd trimester.

It was apparently 29 weeks, which feels... Very far into the pregnancy, and then on top of that was the "mishandling" of the remains. I'm leaning toward this being fair, but I'd like to hear more details.

At the time, abortion up to 20 weeks was legal, so I'm not sure this is true.

Yeah I just saw your earlier post. I honestly think that puts this in a much different light. But I'm not getting into that discussion on this board.

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't 20 weeks like, a fairly generous average, of what most states allow? 29 weeks feels very late.

Yeah they should be able to get those 3rd trimester abortions out in the open.

AND the government should cover it, like all the other healthcare they should cover.

Lol no, you shouldn't get to kill what's essentially a viable baby because you want to get out and party.

What do they say? Can you give a general idea of it?

Otherwise, I agree with the people suggesting... You don't just carry a baby to 29 weeks for "fun," so I have to assume there were circumstances that certain people would like to hide.

It's been a long time since I visited this case, but one of the messages said that she wanted to feel comfortable in pants again, or something as similarly trivial.

If she literally ONLY had the abortion for superficial reasons, then it's a "Fair, next." That said, I'll need to look into this further to confirm.

IIRC, this lady did her 3rd trimester abortion long before there was an abortion ban in place. She could have easily went and had the procedure done before it got the point where she was murdering what was essentially a viable infant.

Like maybe:

I feel like if it was purely abusive, it wouldn't have taken until 29 weeks for the abortion to happen, considering it was legal up to 20 weeks. That said, there are very few cases where I feel like it should have been a "crime," anyway, even beyond 20 weeks, which is why I'm asking for details.

EDIT: There is a reason why I'm now defaulting to the prosecution/sentence being dumb.

Abortions that late should not be elective or occur outside of medical facilities.

Even if a shitty government forces you into that situation, there are safer options.

The only moral abortion that late into a pregnancy is if the mother's life is in danger or the fetus has become non-viable.

Otherwise, holy fucking shit, that's fucked up.

Aborting such a late term baby is questionable and so is the way they got rid of the remains? If they went to a hospital and passed it there would it still have got them in trouble? If so I understand why they did it in such a skeezy way.

Final words on abortion though is still as it's always been, abortion is a human right. I don't know why some old men in a room were allowed to change this without widespread voting.

No one should be forced to raise a child they aren't prepared to raise financially, mentally or in some cases physically. I would have had a son long ago if having offspring wasn't such a financially unviable way to live.

To be clear on my stance, I get that current abortion laws put a LOT of unnecessary pressure on the woman, and it more likely leads to problems than not. That said, in a state that, atleast at the time, had up to 20 weeks being legal, 29 weeks feels VERY late. That's why I'm trying to find out details, because I fully do believe certain circumstances lead to why she may have sought it so late, but also, if those circumstances were frivolous, then that chances things.

Facebook provided evidence. She was visibly pregnant. Someone who saw her before and after got the process started and Facebook did the rest? Plus what kind of defense could she afford? I doubt that there was sufficient evidence.

"Court documents in the case revealed that Facebooks parent company Meta supplied police with the private Facebook messages that Celeste and Jessica Burgess had sent one another. In one message, Celeste told Jessica: 'Remember we burn the evidence.'"

All we can tell from basic articles is that, at the time, up to 20 weeks was completely legal. Details beyond that appear to be scarce.
