Well that happened
@AngryBlackLady IIRC @404mediaco contacted all of the period apps, and only one of them said they wouldn't provide client periods information to the police if asked.

Even if you have kids in states where abortion is currently legal, that can easily change. So just talk to them about digital and physical security. Particularly if they're going to try to seek abortion care without telling you.

Arm them with information so they don't get got. #abortion #abortionrights

Basically if you're white, the state really wants you to stop terminating your pregnancies.

Look at what these three Republican attorneys general are arguing in the latest mifepristone lawsuit about how the FDA depriving them of pregnant teenagers is a sovereign injury. [unlocked post] https://www.patreon.com/posts/114456742?utm_campaign=postshare_creator

If you have kids in college in abortion hostile states? You should really be talking to them about digital and physical security when it comes to repro healthcare.

The system is becoming increasingly carceral and it's gonna target white people who are not used to being on the receiving end of such treatment.

And stop using those period tracking apps. Get a notebook and a pen.

They're tracking abortion patients across state lines.

This is why I was banging on about digital security when Roe fell.

Basically everyone should be using burner phones when seeking abortion care in abortion hostile states— or even states where abortion is legal now but in jeopardy. #uspol #ReproductiveRights #digitalsurveillance #digitalsecurity #abortion #abortionrights https://www.notus.org/technology/cell-phone-tracking-law-enforcement-abortion-clinic https://www.notus.org/technology/cell-phone-tracking-law-enforcement-abortion-clinic

It’s Possible to Track Someone’s Personal Phone to an Abortion Clinic. And It’s Legal Too.

A company got access to a mobile phone-tracking tool used by law enforcement and U.S. government agencies across the country. They found significant privacy vulnerabilities.

The Washington AG’s brief is chock full of science. The new complaint from Kansas, Idaho, and MIssouri is chock full of junk science and hysteria and whinging about how mailing abortion pills is depressing their states’ birth rate so bad they might lose seats in Congress.

I’m not kidding, that is one of their arguments.

Like, this whole year is going to be yet another conversation about mifepristone and maybe, just maybe we can have a real conversation about the actual fucking science, because the science the anti choicers are relying on is (A) discredited or (B) literally culled from random assholes posting about how mifepristone ruined their lives on a Wordpress blog.

I’m losing my mind over here.

While Kansas, Idaho, and Missouri are making their case that mifepristone is chemical abortion and killing your children, Washington’s AG filed a brief that was like “actually, mifepristone is so safe that the FDA should relax the existing protocols oh and here’s a bunch of science to back it up.”

The science cited by Kansas, Idaho, and Missouri? Some blog polls and “scientific” studies that were retracted last year.

I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe. #USpol #ReproductiveRights
