Missouri voters passed abortion rights initiative in November which state legislature trying their best to reverse. A bill proposed would create a registry of pregnant women considered "at risk for abortion" based on who knows what to be coerced and threatened.

Texas woman locked in jail 5 months—for having a miscarriage. Judge then gave custody of fetus to an anti-abortion group—who named it "Mary" and gave it a public funeral—all without the mother's permission. With bond set at $100K—so she was stuck in jail 5 months—including her 34th birthday. Mallori Patrice Strait was originally arrested for "abuse of a corpse" on December 19, 2024. She was only released after medical examiner finally released its report that determined she had indeed miscarried—and that her fetus died in utero. The DA’s office also said there was "no direct evidence" that she tried to flush anything.

Chinese university students requesting sick leave for serious menstrual cramps are being required to remove their pants to prove they really are menstruating. How long until someone decides that's a great idea for American women and menstruating people?

She Got an Abortion. So A Texas Cop Used 83,000 Cameras to Track Her Down.
In a chilling sign of how far law enforcement surveillance has encroached on personal liberties, 404 Media recently revealed that a sheriff’s office in Texas searched data from more than 83,000 automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion. The officer searched 6,809 different camera networks maintained by surveillance tech company Flock Safety, including states where abortion access is protected by law, such as Washington and Illinois. The search record listed the reason plainly: “had an abortion, search for female.”
screenshot_2025-05-30_at_11.08.40_am.png
After the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturned Roe v. Wade, states were given sweeping authority to ban and even criminalize abortion. In Texas—where the officer who conducted this search is based—abortion is now almost entirely banned. But in Washington and Illinois, where many of the searched Flock cameras are located, abortion remains legal and protected as a fundamental right up to fetal viability.
The post-Dobbs legal landscape has also opened the door for law enforcement to exploit virtually any form of data—license plates, phone records, geolocation data—to pursue individuals across state lines. EFF’s Atlas of Surveillance has documented more than 1,800 agencies have deployed ALPRs, but at least 4,000 agencies are able to run searches through some agencies in Flock's network. Many agencies share the data freely with other agencies across the country, with little oversight, restriction, or even standards for accessing data.
While this particular data point explicitly mentioned an abortion, scores of others in the audit logs released through public records requests simply list "investigation" as the reason for the plate search, with no indication of the alleged offense. That means other searches targeting someone for abortion, or another protected right in that jurisdiction, could be effectively invisible.
This case underscores our growing concern: that the mass surveillance infrastructure—originally sold as a tool to find stolen cars or missing persons—is now being used to target people seeking reproductive healthcare. This unchecked, warrant-less access that allows law enforcement to surveil across state lines blurs the line between “protection” and persecution.

Trump administration revokes guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it would revoke guidance to the nation’s hospitals that directed them to provide emergency abortions for women when they are necessary to stabilize their medical condition.
That guidance was issued to hospitals in 2022, weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court upended national abortion rights in the U.S. It was an effort by the Biden administration to preserve abortion access for extreme cases in which women were experiencing medical emergencies and needed an abortion to prevent organ loss or severe hemorrhaging, among other serious complications.
The Biden administration had argued that hospitals — including ones in states with near-total bans — needed to provide emergency abortions under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. That law requires emergency rooms that receive Medicare dollars to provide an exam and stabilizing treatment for all patients. Nearly all emergency rooms in the U.S. rely on Medicare funds.
The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it would no longer enforce that policy.
The move prompted concerns from some doctors and abortion rights advocates that women will not get emergency abortions in states with strict bans.
“The Trump Administration would rather women die in emergency rooms than receive life-saving abortions,” Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement. “In pulling back guidance, this administration is feeding the fear and confusion that already exists at hospitals in every state where abortion is banned. Hospitals need more guidance, not less, to stop them from turning away patients experiencing pregnancy crises.”
Anti-abortion advocates, meanwhile, praised the announcement. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, said in a statement that the Biden-era policy had been a way to expand abortion access in states where it was banned.
“Democrats have created confusion on this fact to justify their extremely unpopular agenda for all-trimester abortion,” she said. “In situations where every minute counts, their lies lead to delayed care and put women in needless, unacceptable danger.”
An Associated Press investigation last year found that, even with the Biden administration’s guidance, dozens of pregnant women were being turned away from emergency rooms, including some who needed emergency abortions.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which provides oversight of hospitals, said in a statement that it will continue to enforce the federal law that, “including for identified emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy.”
But CMS added that it would also “rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability created by the former administration’s actions.”
The Biden administration sued Idaho over its abortion law that initially only allowed abortions to save the life of the mother. The federal government had argued before the U.S. Supreme Court last year that Idaho’s law was in conflict with the federal law, which requires stabilizing treatment that prevents a patient’s condition from worsening.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a procedural ruling in the case last year that left key questions unanswered about whether doctors in abortion-ban states can terminate pregnancies when a woman is at risk of serious infection, organ loss or hemorrhage.

Texas man arrested for allegedly putting abortion medication in a woman's coffee without her knowledge. The woman had reportedly told man who impregnated her that she wished to carry to term. The medication caused miscarriage.
The man was not charged with assault of woman and bodily harm caused her. He was charged with capital murder of 8 week old fetus and faces possible death penalty. The woman was not mentioned in indictment because she doesn't count. Like if you shot someone and bullet broke a teacup.

Fetus finally removed from corpse in Georgia. A woman who died was turned into involuntary incubator, hooked up to machines against family's wishes. She had been 8 weeks pregnant when she died and hospital said incubator had to be kept operating until fetus had lungs.
It weighed less than two pounds. Now in neonatal ICU, might not live, possibly have permanent damage because humans evolved to be born from live women after nine months. Not kept in corpse for three months and brought into the world four months early.

That doesn't really tell the whole story, but okay. Don't get me wrong, that lady is a piece of shit, but she did get the treatment legally in Florida.

Yes. After jumping through hoops. And she has federally funded health care. What about women without resources?

I never said I agree with her or Florida's laws, just wanted to share an article that was more transparent than Sly's screen grab of a tweet.

At what gestational age can the brain of a human fetus support consciousness?
This suggests no earlier than 24 weeks.
As for lungs...

Unless you believe this is a religious argument. In which case we should clearly have no laws based on religion.

When I worked at Emanuel hospital lab, sometimes we got an L/S test and it was always stat. It meant a woman was in premature labor. Using drugs to stop labor is risky. The test showed if fetal lungs were developed enough to breathe. If not , abor was stopped since no chance of survival.

I read the article, let me get this straight, if I use ACA subsidies to get health insurance I am not allowed to use entirely separate state funds to receive an abortion? Do I also need to go around handing out anti abortion pamphlets if I receive these funds?
Fucking bonkers.

Pregnant Texas woman with major medical problems begged for an abortion to save her life. She was refused under Texas anti woman laws. Her 11 year old son found her dead body. They are so pro life.

Why abortions are rising in the U.S. despite more restrictions
Access to abortion services has shifted dramatically in the three years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Twelve states currently ban the procedure with limited exceptions, another four have bans after six weeks of pregnancy. Stephanie Sy discussed a new report that shows whether bans have led to a drop in abortions with Mary Ziegler, author of “Personhood."

In 2010 the ultraconservative Wyoming legislature passed a constitutional amendment against ACA mandates. The amendment says every competent adult can make his/her own health care decisions without penalty.
Today the state Supreme Court ruled that the amendment invalidates Wyoming abortion ban.

There's no legitimate scientific evidence for this. Babies are much tougher than commonly believed.
We need data. Take 4000 babies, subject 1000 to each of the following temperatures: -273C, 0C, 100C, 1000C.
