It was revealed that Jessica was able to obtain the abortion drugs through the internet, without any legal restrictions or medical supervision. This incident highlights the dangers of accessing abortion drugs through the Internet without being monitored.
Although the court ruled that the crime was severe, it also noted that Celeste's 90-day jail sentence was sufficient to send a strong message to society. In addition to that, she was also ordered to perform 200 hours of community service and stay respectful of the law.
Jessica is facing various charges, such as providing an illegal abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy and tampering with human remains. Some of these charges were dropped as part of her plea agreement. This shows that the law needs to be enforced and that those who commit crimes must be held accountable.
It is very distressing to think about the unborn child that was lost due to this heinous act. It is unbelievable that a teenager would willingly kill her own child and then burn their remains. Society must do more to safeguard the unborn's rights and prevent such tragic incidents from happening.
The incident has highlighted the importance of upholding and enforcing laws that restrict abortion. It is encouraging that several states, such as Nebraska, have started to limit the procedure after a certain period of pregnancy. But, more must be done to safeguard the unborn.
The sentences handed down to Jessica and Celeste Burgess should serve as a strong warning to other individuals considering violating the law. Such reprehensible actions are not only illegal, but they also have a moral significance. The unborn's rights must be protected, and violators must be held accountable.
