Authorities alleged Celeste Burgess had a medication abortion, and that it violated the state’s prohibition of abortion after 20 weeks. Celeste Burgess was around 28 weeks pregnant when her pregnancy ended, court documents allege.
Jessica Burgess, 42, was charged with the same offenses as her daughter, plus a felony count of performing an abortion beyond 20 weeks and a felony count of performing an abortion as someone other than a licensed physician.
You know that most western countries disallow abortion after 17 weeks (sans risk to the mother) right? The mother was also only given a felony for performing an abortion while not being a doctor, not for the abortion itself.
This also occurred two or three years ago, long before the states abortion laws were restricted
