A Nebraska Woman Has Been Charged With Two Felonies for Providing Abortion Pills to Her Daughter

A woman in Nebraska has been charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor for helping her 17-year-old daughter have an abortion. Yes, you read that correctly: a mother trying to help her child make a healthcare decision is facing jail time.

Nebraska has an extremely regressive abortion policy, banning the procedure after 12 weeks in the state. These charges set a dangerous precedent for families trying to help their children access the reproductive care they need.
