Police Use Facebook To Prosecute A Teen Girl For Having An Abortion
A teenager name Celeste Burgess is facing criminal charges after allegedly seeking an abortion in Nebraska, where abortions are illegal after 20 weeks gestation.
According to reports, the investigation began when police received a tip from a woman who described herself as a friend of Celeste.
She claimed she saw Celeste take a pill that she believed was an abortion pill.
Later in the investigation, Facebook gave Nebraska police access to the girl's private messages which showed her having conversations about the procedure with her mother, Jessica Burgess.
This is the first time a person's Facebook activity has been used to incriminate someone for seeking an abortion.
With Celeste recently turning 18 years old, she will now be tried as an adult, along with her mother.
Representatives from the 'Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights' group says this is one of the many reasons why "legal abortion matters."
"To fall silent now is to let acquiesce to a growing pile-up of the shattered lives of women and girls," the group said in a recent statement on social media, "it is to acquiesce to the growing theocratic assault on contraception, LGBTQ rights, on the history and lives of Black people and much more."
