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.
She aborted at 28 weeks. That’s nearly 6 and a half months pregnant. Most babies can survive outside the womb when they’re around 22 to 23 weeks. This was a baby, not some tiny fetus.
Perhaps this may be the case. But I’m sure she’d have got the abortion far earlier if not for these backwards laws against it
I was born decades ago and 2 months early; in the glass box for weeeeks to beat the 11% survival-at-all stats.
Having said that, IT’S STILL NOT FACEBOOK’S BUSINESS as a conveyor and not a filter.
You’re right, it’s not Facebook’s business, but this 17-year old and her mother chose to discuss a crime on Facebook’s platform. Facebook had a legal obligation to hand over those messages because they were served a valid warrant.
