Boost this. Malicious fucking compliance y'all. Tie up their legal system with tens of thousands of cases. Burn their state government’s cash on this issue. Force them to play by the Nth degree of this idiotic rule.
i love uncivil obedience. follow the letter of the law so close that it shows just how ridiculous and unfair the law is
This is so great because if anyone is caught impeding or messing with these deliveries, it’s MAIL, that makes it a FEDERAL crime, whoever fucks with these packages gets charged FEDERALLY, they face up to five years in prison.
[ID: A tweet by @ nytimes that reads, “Breaking News: Women can get abortion pills by mail for pregnancies up to 10 weeks without seeing a doctor in person, the FDA ruled. The decision comes as the Supreme Court considers whether to roll back abortion rights or even overturn Roe v. Wade.” Attached is a link to the article and a screenshot of the title and subtitle of the article. The article was published Dec 16, 2021. The title reads, “F.D.A. Will Permanently Allow Abortion Pills by Mail” and the subtitle reads, “The decision will broaden access to medication abortion, an increasingly common method, but many conservative states are already mobilizing against it.” /end ID]
This is great but do remember to check if there’s a weight limit on the brand you take. Idk about abortion pills but I do believe you have to take two plan B if your above a certain weight.
This picture has been circulating all over social media and I have more to add:
Delete all period cycle tracking apps off your phone today.
Do not tell anyone why you want to take your trip, especially over text/apps.
Do not tell anyone the real state/destination of your trip.
Have everyone on your trip turn off their phones. Use written directions or a burner phone. Do not use burner phone to open any personal apps. Dispose of after trip.
Only use cash while purchasing ANYTHING on your trip.
Take “vacation” photos to post later. Be cautious of geo-tags/only post screenshots of the original photos.
Some people might say this is being extra or overly precautious, but this really is the reality we are facing. People have been imprisoned with murder charges in certain states- some for literal miscarriages. If you are a person that ends up in this situation, the state can and will use your data against you as evidence in court. Do not leave a paper trail. If they want to treat us like criminals, we’re gonna move like criminals.
This is a reminder that Roe v Wade wasn’t just about abortion.
It was about privacy.
It didn’t state abortion is legal.
It stated that you had the right to do whatever you want, and we can’t determine if you’ve had an abortion without invading your privacy.
To see how abortion bans are a violation of privacy look at the abortion cases in Texas. Neighbors are sueing neighbors because, “You were pregnant. You left the state. Now you’re not. That’s strange. I think you left to have an abortion.”
Do you WANT people in your business like that? Sneakily checking the addresses on your mail to see if you’re ordering abortion meds? To stalk you to the point where they can tell if you’re pregnant and when you’re suddenly not anymore? Companies going through your search history to see if you’re on abortion websites?
Remember that people who aren’t women also need and want abortions. Include and protect trans and intersex people in this conversation. Keep watch for terf rhetoric and dogwhistles. Terfs will use this as ammunition.
And when we push for gender-inclusive language in legal and healthcare contexts, it’s not just because being called the wrong word makes us feel bad. If the language of a healthcare law or regulation uses specifically gendered language, that creates a loophole that can be used to deny trans people coverage. Ask any trans man who’s had to try and find gynecological care, or any trans woman who has ever needed a prostate exam. Yes, it is difficult and often humiliating to be called the wrong words, but what we’re mostly worried about is losing our access to the healthcare we need alltogether.
…That I stillremember the final scene as clearly as when I first woke up (also, 2014 was a Congressional Election Year).
So, the scene: a friend/acquaintance is in a doctor’s examination room, and I’m waiting in the hall in a manual wheelchair across from the room’s door, in support of my friend. And this is a big hospital complex building that also has a theater/auditorium for presentations.
So, while I’m waiting, who should enter from my left but a Democrat Man™ Candidate for Congress, and a Republican Woman™ Candidate, on their way to the auditorium for their debate. And they are comparing notes with each other, and coordinating what each is going to say, in order to put on the most exciting show (and the topic was Abortion Rights).
And the Republican Woman™ spots me, and says: “Oh, Good! A Prop!” And grabs the back of my chair. I try to put on the chair’s breaks, but she swats my hands out of the way, and starts pushing me down the hall to the stage against my will.
And I wake up with my heart racing at what felt like 120 beats per minute.
Life: If you have 7 chairs and 10 children, what do you do?
Pro-lifers: Get 3 more chairs.
Pro-choices: Kill 3 kids
What is disturbing is that they aren’t denying killing, just who they kill. Age should not determine the worth of a person.
This isn’t the argument at all and it is absolutely close-minded and obviously made from under a rock. The mindset isn’t to kill kids. Think about why there are more chairs than children. Chairs, like most other commodities in the world are first-come-first-serve. When all of the chairs are full, unless we can find more chairs (which is in most cases the first option), we should stop letting children in. We should only let an amount of children into the room equal to the chairs in the first place. Not only is your logic flawed, it’s almost as if you’ve never seen any of this discourse or other people’s opinions in your life. The answer is not to kill three children. The answer is to let only seven children into the room in the first place. As someone who volunteers in a library and deals with this situation weekly, if too many children are let in we are supposed to accomodate them as best as we can, which is usually the choice in this hypothetical anyway, regardless of political view. But sometimes 3 more chairs aren’t available. Which is why we try our best to make sure we only let the right amount of children in in the first place. Sometimes three more chairs costs more than you make in six months. Sometimes three more chairs have been taken away from you. In this case, chairs are not comparable to resources, so I’m going to ditch the hypothetical for a moment, because a child can have a nice time playing with other children if there aren’t enough chairs to sit in, but a child won’t have a nice time if there’s not enough food, housing, clothes, etc. Sometimes bringing a child into this world will only kill them slower. Sometimes bringing a child into this world will make them suffer greatly before they die. Sometimes bringing a child into the world will kill the mother. It’s not as black-and-white as you make it out to be. Resources aren’t infinite.
First off, I never said that killing kids was the pro-choice mindset. It is a means to an end for pro-choices. Second, lack of resources isn’t an excuse to kill anybody, not just the unborn. Third, it does not make sense to kill a child just because they’ll have a hard life or die later. Everyone dies at some point. Abortion robs people of their chance, their potential. This is not excusable.
