I've taken the liberty of re-reading the article and have some things to point out 1. the girl was 17, a literal child, something you seemed to forget in your comment 2. You mentioned that she wanted to wear jeans again and that that was the motive, but the word 'jeans' wasn't even mentioned, which makes me wonder if you're tampering with anything in your comment coming from the article. All that considered you have a good point with some things such as in this specific situation such as them confessing to conspiracy was not a good idea, but I will still say use something end to end encrypted when doing something like this.

It might not be in this article but there are others that state that one of her messages about doing the abortion was that she couldn't wait to wear jeans again.

She should have legally gotten an abortion in the first 20 weeks of the pregnancy. I'm all for abortion and reproductive rights, but not when it's a viable baby already like it is at 28 weeks. She had 5 months to abort legally and easily and she didn't. Not only did she then illegally abort it, but she burned the stillborn baby and buried it. That's not ok.
