Nebraska Teen Sentenced for Self-Managed Abortion

year-old Celeste Burgess was sentenced to 90 days in jail for concealing a dead body after self-managing an abortion.
Burgess pled guilty after prosecutors dropped two misdemeanor charges; her mother is also facing charges.
Burgess obtained abortion pills and terminated her pregnancy at around 29 weeks, beyond Nebraska's 20-week limit at the time.
The case has raised concerns about criminalizing pregnancy outcomes and the privacy of communications.
Burgess' sentencing comes amid debates over abortion legislation in Nebraska following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
