The abortion argument is about controlling women and their bodies, and it’s as disgusting as it is shameful. This is pure misogyny.

Abortion isn’t the crime here. The crime is the abuse of women mentally, emotionally, and physically. They are being denied control over their own bodies and health decisions. These are personal, private matters; they deserve the utmost respect.

Women will remedy this problem at the polls. I’ll be voting with them.

Or even better if you could automate the submissions

Here's what you need:

1. Python's faker faker.readthedocs.io/en/master library generates real-seeming names, addresses, and valid-seeming emails. If they've added "please confirm via email" since yesterday you'll need a burner email. Those are simple.
2. Python requests
requests.readthedocs.io/en/lat for filling out web forms in an automated way and submitting it. Over and over.
3. NordVPN's St. Louis exit nodes
nordvpn.com/servers/usa/stloui so your IP seems to be in-state. It's better than nothing for now.
4. A cheap or free large language model
github.com/Hannibal046/Awesome of your choice, for generating authentic-seeming complaints.

This is all commodity-level stuff. Don't test your script without turning on your VPN!

You can now report a "transgender concern" on a Missouri government website. It would be a shame if it was filled to the brim with garbage submissions.

The Supreme Court has delayed their decision on whether or not to ban abortion pills for an additional two days. This gives justices more time to make a decision on the matter, but it's worth noting that Fridays are when shit bags do shit bag things.

The legal battle over mifepristone is chaotic and complex due to conflicting lower court orders requiring the FDA to take contradictory actions on the medication.

Biden Administration Moves to Ban Healthcare Workers From Reporting Abortions to Police

So it looks like there’s some confusion around what this exactly is, so let me try to add some context:

As part of all these other moves that law enforcement in anti-choice states are taking (including literal fucking checkpoints at the New Mexico-Texas border), those antitrust law enforcement are also looking to send subpoenas for medical records to abortion clinics in pro-choice states in order to prosecute the women (if that state prosecutes the women) or the people that helped her get the abortion. The medical professionals in the states, of course, feel like they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They don’t want to betray the patient confidentiality, but at the same time they don’t want to be held in contempt themselves for failure to comply with a subpoena.

The federal government, except in particular circumstances, can’t intervene in a state court’s prosecution of its own state criminal laws, but it can involve itself when that criminal process crosses state lines. So what this proposed rule is doing is prohibiting law-enforcement from subpoenaing records related to reproductive health services outside of their own state. And basically telling healthcare providers in pro-choice states that if they don’t respond to a subpoena, they are not breaking the law; rather, they only break the law if they do handover the records as that will be a violation of HIPAA if the patient did not consent.

As an aside, this rule did not come out of nowhere. If you didn’t know this already, if you are in a part of a Part 2 substance-abuse program, those records also have very strict rules about when they can be shared with law-enforcement. A while back, there was concern that people would not seek treatment for their substance abuse out of fear they would get arrested and lose their job. So the federal government modified HIPAA to prevent law-enforcement and employers from being able to get records about substance-abuse treatment in a federally funded program without explicit patient consent.

We are calling it National Women's Strike (there was contention regarding the name but I'm sorry I can't please everyone and the majority has voted to keep it simple, let's focus on the mission now)

We are making this a multiple part strike due to popular suggestion to aliken it to a menstrual period, and thoughts that May is too soon to plan.

🏵1st Day- Friday, May 12th
🏵2nd Day- Monday, June 12th
🏵3rd Day- Tuesday, 4th of July

-We are calling in sick, we are not going to stores or restaurants or otherwise participating in the economy. Protest peacefully, stay home or gather, everyone is welcome to join! We've all been suffering.

-We will not sit by and let people's religion dictate our rights to healthcare.
-We will not tolerate the nonsense idea that our body is not our own.
-We want to demonstrate how much society relies on women.
-We want to impress the importance of reproductive healthcare rights for everyone.
-We want to display love and unity to our sisters and brothers in this time.
-We want it to be known that we do not accept the legislations created or revoked that force the conjunction of religion and state.
Saying yes to sex is not saying yes to carrying a pregnancy.
-Women's issues are humans issues, it affects everybody
-Abortions are healthcare, and it isn't anybody's business.
-Teaching sexual education is important to lower the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions.

Spread the word, spread the dates, feel free to make your own advertising!!! Let everyone know everywhere that this is happening.

Iranian authorities have begun installing cameras in public places to nab women who have not covered their heads and faces with veils according to the country's strict Islamic law, Iranian police announced.

First-time offenders would receive warnings via text messages, police said.

Dozens of people have died and thousands arrested in months of public protests across Iran against the hijab law, after Mahsa Amini, a young girl was killed in police custody following her arrest for not being fully covered up.

Casiano says she won't get pregnant again – she doesn't want to take the chance of reliving this experience. She wanted to have her tubes tied when she delivered last week, but couldn't because of a Medicaid rule that requires a 30-day waiting period after giving birth. She has an intrauterine device for birth control in the meantime.

Even as she tries to give her daughter the best funeral she can, she thinks she should have been able to get an abortion in Texas months ago. "This whole situation didn't even have to happen," she says.

NOTE THIS -

'Texas laws are working as designed'
Amy O'Donnell, director of communications for the Texas Alliance for Life, calls Casiano's situation "heartbreaking," but says she supports the abortion bans and opposes creating exceptions for fetal anomalies.

"I do believe the Texas laws are working as designed," she says. "I also believe that we have a responsibility to educate Texas women and families on the resources that we have available to them, both for their pregnancy, for childbirth and beyond, as well as in situations where they face an infant loss."

She says several private and religious organizations provide free caskets and other services, but said public funds for infant funerals is not currently part of the "Alternatives to Abortion" state program. "That's not to say that it shouldn't be, and if the legislature decided to move that direction, we would support that," O'Donnell says.
-
Aww! How sweet of them to pay for the caskets,
I'm sure god will reward them in their after life.

In March, she reached out to First Touch Family, a recently founded Christian nonprofit organization in East Texas that supports parents who have lost a child. Founder Chrissy Cogdell, who describes herself and her organization as pro-life, set up a fundraising page for Halo's funeral and paid for professional maternity and birth photos. The fundraiser only brought in $480, Cogdell says.

She was quoted $4,000 by one funeral home. The family moved less than a year ago and used up all their savings on the move. Her family cooked menudo, a spicy Mexican soup, and raised $645 selling it by the bowl.

Casiano also looked into donating the baby's organs. She thought, "Maybe this is why this is happening, because my baby can save another baby," she says. "I was told that anencephaly babies do not qualify to donate their organs. So I was like, 'OK, I don't see a purpose in this.'"

Samantha Casiano is 29 years old. She and Villasana are raising four kids, and a goddaughter who lives with them. Their youngest is 9 months old. They live in East Texas in a mobile home.

After she got the anencephaly diagnosis in December, she called clinics that provide abortions in New Mexico and Arizona, but she couldn't figure out how to make the trip. It would have been at least 700 miles and taken about 12 hours to drive to a clinic in New Mexico – that would have required days off of work and childcare for her kids. "It wasn't possible for us," she says. So she braced herself for five more months carrying a pregnancy that would end in a funeral.

"I didn't want to go to the doctor's office," she says. "I don't want to sound hateful, but I don't want to see all these pregnant women and I'm over here carrying a baby – I love my baby, but she should be at rest by now. I just keep thinking that over and over again – my baby should be at rest, I shouldn't have to put her through this."
