A 17-year-old from Nebraska and her mother are facing criminal charges including performing an illegal abortion and concealing a dead body after police obtained the pair’s private chat history from Facebook, court documents published by Motherboard show.

    I find this argumentation very weird. It is still in her body, it’s a part of her body. No one should have these kinds of rights over another person’s body. A person who actually is already alive, btw (the woman is also a living person).

    Do you think people should be forced to donate organs? I feel this is a better analogy where men are actually included and can’t just stand by an watch how others are forced into stuff.

      She chose to kill a baby that would have been alive had she given birth to it right there and then - that’s what makes this case different to someone getting an abortion at 8 weeks.
