It's a weird story, tico.  It's more about what they did with the aborted fetus than the actual late term termination.

CBJ, sounds like Facebook turned over a Nebraska teen's private messages with her mother to the police, so that they can prosecute the teen for an abortion.

Is that a sensationalized version of the story? Or does it hew close to the facts as you know them?

So Nebraska has not changed their abortion laws since Roe v Wade thanks to the Unicameral legislature and the Republicans although they have a large majority do not have the votes to override a filibuster.  This case actually predates Roe v Wade being overturned.  Abortion was illegal in Nebraska after 20 weeks unless the mother’s health is at risk.

That being said I wouldn’t say it a fair description at all from what I have read. The girl was 28 weeks pregnant and the mother somehow purchased medication for a medical abortion. The medication is only meant to be given in the first trimester, which the girl clearly wasn’t in. They then burned and disposed of the body after the girl miscarried. The mom is being charged with practicing medicine without a license and disposing of a body. The daughter is being charged with concealing a dead body, concealing a death and false reporting.  A male is also charged with helping them bury the body.

So the I think all the charges are completely legit. Had the gone to a hospital or called 911 after she miscarried there likely would have been no charges. This all started when the police got a tip they sue miscarried and buried the body on a relative’s property and the police found a body in a bag that was partially burned. The only charges added after the Facebook info was against the mother.

If anyone wants to see how incredibly effective Russian propaganda is in the US, go read the last 30 odd posts by Pekin on the Bears board. (click on his name, then "show posts" on the left hand side)

Pekin’s descent into madness has been remarkable to watch.  Bill Sharp is a great example of how the YouTube algorithm can be very dangerous in the wrong hands.  There is no right wing conspiracy video too outrageous for him to post and believe.

Ben Sasse is resigning to be the Senate to be the University of Florida president. Ricketts is term limited and gets to appointment his successor until a 2024 election. I wonder who it will be?

Probably some MAGA lunatic.

I think it will be Ricketts. Nebraska Republicans have an internal fight going on.  The MAGA/Q took over the state party and Ricketts was on the losing end of it. His handpicked successor won the nomination while the MAGA guy lost. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. By interesting I mean possibly terrifying.

Much ado about nothing.  Sasse is nothing but a bag of hot wind who loves to paint himself as principled and independent and in the end always votes the MAGA party line.  If expressing outrage is your thing, he’s your guy.  Apart from that no difference between him and whatever other nutbag pays Ricketts off enough to get the seat.

Ricketts is definitely sounding like he wants it. He is floating that if he wants the position the next governor (the guy he backed) will be the one to appoint Sasse’s replacement.

Sasse was in the bottom tier of Republicans voting with Trump.

ROFL.  Yes, Sasse only voted with Trump 84.8% of the time.  Why, that’s almost 2% less than Josh Hawley!
