A judge sentenced a 19-year-old in Nebraska to 90 days in jail after she took abortion pills.
Celeste Burgess, 19, pleaded guilty to "concealing or abandoning a dead body."
Burgess was sentenced by Madison County District Judge James Kube on Thursday to two years of probation, according to the Norfolk Daily News.
Jessica pleaded guilty to concealing a dead body, performing an abortion beyond 20 weeks, and misdemeanor false reporting and is scheduled to be sentenced in September, according to the outlet.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade in June 2022, Nebraska made abortion illegal after just 12 weeks of pregnancy.
