Doing my morning #norwegian lessons, and listening to a playlist and an ad came on - don't leave your kid in the hot car. In this political climate? That's the only way to get rid of a kid. Not even DIY wire coat hangers anymore. How do you forget an obnoxious kid unless it was intentional? I wonder the statistics behind that when Row v. Wade was active #abortion

#Indiana Governor issued an Executive Order in Jan 2025 requiring all #abortion medical records be made public, incl those of victims of rape or incest, w/an eye to arrest & prosecution. This EO had been temporarily blocked since March by a TRO as a case moves through the co urts.

WFYI · Judge grants injunction blocking Indiana from releasing abortion recordsBy Benjamin Thorp

Mason Herring, a Houston attorney, slipped abortion inducing pills into his wife’s drink, severely damaging the fetus.

He was sentenced to 180 days in jail, 10 years probation, and got to keep his law license.

If she had taken the abortion pills voluntarily, she would have been charged with murder.

THIS IS 100% ABOUT CONTROLLING WOMEN.

“The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything, and everything we can save is worth saving.” – Rebecca Solnit

"This is the playbook. The anti-abortion movement will use every lever of legislative, judicial and executive power to chip away at access & dismantle the entire reproductive health care infrastructure nationally, while targeting the people with the fewest resources first.

They are counting on us to give up — to feel hopeless, exhausted, and overwhelmed. But we carry something powerful with us every day in this fight: Judaism."

"Support for reproductive rights is on the upswing. And the rate of voluntary sterilization among young women – a repudiation of Trumpian pronatalism, if a desperate one – jumped abruptly after Dobbs, and there’s no reason to believe it will drop off.

Also rising at an alarming clip are preventable maternal deaths and criminal prosecutions of pregnant people."

"Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the US supreme court case that rescinded the constitutional right to abortion, is failing on its own terms. Since the ruling, in June 2022, the number of abortions in the US has risen."

Eventually, it'll touch a topic you do care about. "We're only amending the criteria to make sure content that shouldn't be available to children isn't available" is what they will say. How could anyone object to that?
The devil, as always, is in the details.
"Sexual content" can easily be expanded to include sexual health content. Content specific to gay people's sexual health?
(An aside, my phone wouldn't let me swipe the words sexual or gay until I added them as a custom word. It refuses to let me swipe the word sex, insisting it's sec). Is contraceptive advice adult content?
What about #abortion? You might say yes, but the age of consent is sixteen in the UK and those frisky little teens often start before that!

This legislation really £%>×es me off. #ukpolitics
