"Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the 'biggest waves of censorship' on its platforms in years."

"Mental health symptom exacerbation after abortion, experts said, has little to do with the decision to end a pregnancy and is more likely linked to social and medical factors, including previous mental health history."

“The U.S. is becoming a tale of two countries in terms of abortion access and abortion policy,” said Dr. Ushma Upadhyay, a professor and a public health scientist at the University of California, San Francisco. But, she added, “All of this legislation will never take away from the fact that women will continue to need abortion care, and continue to get abortion care.”

"Carbondale is an example of how the Supreme Court’s decision, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, to end a woman’s constitutional right to abortion has made geography an all-important factor in access to the procedure. After the decision, 14 states effectively banned abortion, a seismic shift that placed Carbondale, a liberal enclave in a deeply conservative region, in a complicated position."

"Under the new law, which went into effect on Thursday, abortion providers could face penalties of at least $100,000 if they mail pills into Texas. Manufacturers of abortion pills are also eligible to be sued, although women who take abortion pills are not."

"Since Trump took office in January, the administration has abandoned DHS policies restricting the arrest and detention of immigrants who have recently given birth, are pregnant or are nursing. As a result, the administration has taken into custody immigrants...whose detention threatens not only their own health but also that of their newborn children — typically U.S. citizens..."

"A federal judge has again blocked a provision Congress passed in July that stripped federal Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood affiliates, ruling that the language likely places an unconstitutional burden on states to apply vague criteria about the scope of the ban."

"The law, which goes into effect December 4, creates civil penalties for health care providers who make abortion medications available in Texas, allowing any private citizen to sue medical providers for a minimum penalty of $100,000. The bill’s backers have said it would also allow suits against drug manufacturers. It would not enable suits against the people who get abortions."

Grateful to be featured by Fourth Wave for our exposé on digital censorship and women’s reproductive freedom. In a post-Roe era, what isn’t said is just as dangerous as what is.
Let’s talk about why this matters. #DigitalRights #ReproJustice #BarkingJustice

Joseph Cox: Pregnancy Tracking App ‘What to Expect’ Refuses to Fix Issue that Allows Full Account Takeover
"What To Expect, a popular #pregnancy tracking app on both iOS and Android, is ignoring multiple serious vulnerabilities in its app, including one which allows a full takeover of a user’s account, exposing their sensitive reproductive health information.
The vulnerabilities are particularly sensitive at a time when advocates for reproductive health can become targets of harassment.
In a write-up he shared with 404 Media before publication, security researcher Ovi Liber said 'exposure of reproductive health information could have severe consequences, leaving users vulnerable to harassment, doxing, incrimination, or even targeted attacks by malicious actors.'"

All May long we'll be sharing news + resources from the intersection of tech privacy and reproductive justice, like this privacy guide from Digital Defense Fund https://buff.ly/3w5NKUT #mothersday #reprojustice
yet another article about how fucking great it is for the Democratic party that the voters allegedly represented by them have suffered a severe loss in human rights. With no mention of or conversation with anyone affected by said loss.
It continues to be infuriating.
I was going to say something funny yet profound yet totally nonthreatening, but then I got reminded of how the loss of reproductive rights has been a boon for Democrats and now I'm annoyed. Like yes I'm glad the fascists didn't sweep the field but reading multiple articles about how good the Dobbs decision has been for the Democratic party is enraging.
