The transcript discusses a case where a 17-year-old in Nebraska was charged with abortion-related offenses. The police received a tip about her miscarriage after taking abortion pills and burying the fetus with her mother's help. At the time, she was 20-23 weeks pregnant, and abortion was illegal after 20 weeks. This incident occurred before Roe v. Wade was overturned, when states couldn't enforce bans before fetal viability at around 24 weeks.
