Gruesome details in illegal abortion case ignite Twitter rage as Atlantic’s Frum claims GOP ‘lied' about jail
Fox News
Atlantic writer David Frum was called out on social media after he complained a Nebraska case was evidence that the GOP wanted women in prison for abortions.
Frum was referring to a Nebraska woman who was recently sentenced to 90 days in prison and two years probation for "concealing or abandoning a dead body." Celeste Burgess of Norfolk, 18, pled guilty earlier this year to burning and burying her child, after working with her mother to abort the viable infant in the third trimester of pregnancy. Burgess's mother had purchased abortion pills online for her daughter to take, violating state law at the time that banned abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Frum went on to complain, "Will the policing and punishment of women be an important issue in 2024? It sure seemed important to the outcome in 2022 - and that was while the new surveillance regime was still mostly hypothetical. Now it's becoming real."
