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.
