I'm not used to more than one piece of good news at a time so this is truly a remarkable post.
CONTINUED good news:
4. Women taking autonomy into their own hands, self-managed abortions soar.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/25/self-managed-abortions-avoid-bans
Please note: TheGuardian's framing here is very, very fashy, "Tip of an iceberg, you know, the thing that wrecked the Titanic and is a maritime killer."
TheGuardian COULD say: preliminary data suggests abortion access more integral to women's health than previous thought, mifepristone particularly vital.
But no they use red flag fash warning shit.

@hannu_ikonen well at least USA didn’t veto on number 2 thus showing a modicum of testicular fortitude. Maybe just a smidge but it’s a start.
@hannu_ikonen
Thanks. I needed some cheering up/good news.
@hannu_ikonen
Don't forget that EU opened new investigations to improper market actions for Google, Apple and Meta. This WILL have repercussions globally.
@hannu_ikonen
This seems like the bit to lead with:
"Medical experts widely agree that it is physically safe to self-manage an abortion early on in pregnancy, and the World Health Organization even offers a protocol for doing so. It is also technically legal to end your own pregnancy in almost every state, including in the 16 states that have enacted near-total abortion bans."
@hannu_ikonen
You'd make a damned fine news anchor on the kind of network I'd put my trust in.
@hannu_ikonen oh fuck yes I love good news
@hannu_ikonen Following you for more good news! Lol
