Yes, but the lack of legal options is what leads to these types of crimes. The 20 week abortion restriction in Nebraska was already the case prior to Roe being overturned, but has since been changed to 12 weeks. It still highlights the fact that more women are going to be prosecuted for crimes that they wouldn't be committing if they had any legal option.

A bad law is no reason to break the law. If what is said was done- was done…. These women are guilty. Period. There is no argument of “but if Roe wasn’t overturned!” That doesn’t matter. It was. And they broke the law.

It’s sucks we’re in this position because of assholes trying to garner votes from the ignorati, but here we are.
