    US mother sentenced to two years in prison for giving daughter
    abortion pills

    Jessica Burgess pleaded guilty in July to providing an abortion after
    20 weeks and tampering with human remains

    Jessica Burgess, a Nebraska mother accused of helping her teenage
    daughter use pills to end her pregnancy, was sentenced on Friday to
    two years in prison.

    Burgess and her daughter, Celeste Burgess, stand accused of working
    together to end Celeste Burgess's pregnancy in April 2022.

    According to prosecutors, after the pair bought pills to end the
    pregnancy, Celeste Burgess gave birth to a stillborn fetus. At the
    time, Nebraska law banned abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
    Celeste Burgess's pregnancy was well past that point, according to
    court records.
