From the article: “her family could not have afforded a funeral for fetal remains, according to Courthouse News. (In a financial affidavit obtained by Vice, Jessica Burgess said she had $400 to her name.)”
I understand she can't afford it, but who even considers having a funeral for an abortion? That's fucking weird
I think some states have laws that if you have an abortion you have to have a funeral as a way to shame the mother for having the abortion. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/05/state-mandated-mourning-for-aborted-fetuses/482688/
That's pretty fucked up
