A 17-year-old from Nebraska and her mother are facing criminal charges including performing an illegal abortion and concealing a dead body after police obtained the pair’s private chat history from Facebook, court documents published by Motherboard show.
As long as it’s inside someone’s body, it’s a body part, not a person, and there’s no such thing as murdering a body part.
Had it been outside of her body at the time it would have been viable as a stand alone person.
