Wait what the heck is an illegal abortion? You mean getting one from unlicensed practioners? Some do it time to time to save money or don't know any better.

She took something that aborted the baby in the third trimester(28 weeks), well after Nebraska's 20 week window for legal abortions. 6.5 months into a 9 month process.

The baby could have survived if delivered, with specialized care, which puts it well outside of the "clump of cells" argument.

And yet, it's still many weeks before the "her body her choice" argument ends.

An argument that, at 6.5mo of gestation, is well outside the moral limits of the vast majority.

That's a bunch of bull, I know it, you know it, everybodys knows it. Vast majority my butt. If people cared that much about babies they wouldn't die by the truck load all around the world because they can't get the care they need.
