The anti abortion movement has promised us for so long that this is not about
punishing women or people who can get pregnant, this isn't about that at all.
They treat those people as sort of like a weird accomplice to the real crime,
which is the doctor.
And the reason that they use that as their narrative is if they actively go around
talking about throwing people in jail for having an abortion, that's not gonna be
popular and they're already not popular for their position on abortion.
Look at how when donald trump implied that there has to be a punishment for
the women, how bad that was for him.
So they have assured us of that.
But is that actually how it's gonna go?
That's not even how it's going right now right now in Nebraska,
there's this woman in Norfolk who is facing five criminal charges, three of
them being felonies alleging that she helped her teenage daughter abort burn and
bury her fetus earlier this year.
Jessica burgess pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial right now.
Her then 17 year old daughter celeste who is being tried as an adult,
also pleaded not guilty to three charges with one of those be A felony.
So as of right now, Nebraska outlaws abortion beyond 20 weeks.
That's just a date that they decided based on anything
that's the date that they decided that they would have it on Monday.
By the way, Republican lawmakers in the state failed to secure enough votes to
decrease that window down to 12, so they weren't able to get to 12,
maybe they can do 16 or 14.
I don't know if they could get it down to zero.
They would, it's just that people don't agree with their position on this but
that didn't stop them from levying these charges.
Now, initially the pair were given citations for
concealing another person's death and false reporting.
But this is where it gets really dystopian investigators issued a search warrant to
search Burgess and her daughter's facebook accounts there because they got
the information from facebook detectives found messages that suggested that Burgess
had bought abortion pills for her daughter and instructed her on how to take them.
Authorities then charged her with a dish Felonies for performing or
attempting an abortion of pregnancy that has passed 20 weeks and
for performing an abortion as a non licensed doctor.
So those things are crimes because they made them crimes, they set that date and
because it's illegal, they also couldn't get a doctor to do it.
I doubt this was their hobby.
This is what they're into.
They were from their point of view, forced into this by the fact that the law didn't
respect their own control over their bodies.
And so, look, there are issues certainly here with republicans with the anti
abortion movement, their willingness to potentially throw people in jail for
trying to exercise what should be their rights.
But there's also issues here with facebook and they've made big claims recently,
actually just a month ago.
Mark Zuckerberg was asked by employees how the company is going to protect those
seeking abortions and he's like don't worry about it.
We got like encryption and people are gonna be safe.
Well that's that's already not even true.
God only knows after they've received some some you know,
pressure from republicans or whatever JR.
It's already now if you've been messaging about this or I don't know maybe your
google search history if you're looking for information, I don't know,
did you post a Tiktok, what are they gonna be able to use to throw you in prison?
>> What you think about also the time, energy and effort that they have to go
through this entire thing to then search out everyone, they can go through all of
your messages that they got from some of these social media companies that tracking
that goes through this all the things that people have been talking about when they
didn't figure exactly what potentially the crime is that certain law, local law
officials and authorities may come after you for, that's just what it looks like.
It's what it's generating and turning into here.
So now we got folks that are chasing down the teenager who with her mother,
I thought there's this whole thing parental rights and
parents get to talk to their parents and make these decisions whatever they want.
Rhonda Santis donald florida's is legislating consistently off of that
unless it's a parent that you disagree with as a Republican as a conservative in
the country then if that parent that parent has no rights,
that parent doesn't get to talk to the kid.
But I think that parent doesn't get to protect their kid.
In fact we have your kid.
Is that something that republicans are in support of these conservatives?
Is that something they're all talking about?
No we control your life because of our religion and our belief systems.
We get to tell you what to do, implement these laws and
then violate your rights and go through all of these to get facebook and
meta to send us your information.
I think they're not gonna do it for other things.
You're mistaken yourself because before they did it for this,
I'm sure you said they wouldn't do it for this.
Well they just did.
>> 100%, no if you if you want parental rights you can have it to like shield your
kid from learning that slavery happened or that if it happened it was bad and
that's pretty much where your rights and, no also the complete denial of
rejection of the fact that the LGBTQ Community exists.
You can also have the right to shield them from accurate honest true information.
But if it comes to their identity, their control of their own body,
you don't get to be involved in that that's up to the state.
Big Brother will decide for you.
So I guess it's it's still a family thing, the Big brothers involved, but
you don't get to be involved.
That's how your rights were under the republicans, and
apparently under Mark Zuckerberg, by the way.
This story needs to be a national story for a lot of different reasons,
certainly because of the ongoing debate about the state of these rights
following the destruction of Roe V wade,
but also like we cannot miss an opportunity to put pressure on Big Tech
to be even slightly less enthusiastically evil than there being.
So, hopefully people pay attention for that reason as well.
