"I want an abortion, but the type of cops who stood around at Uvalde are watching me"

[ck4829]

Abortion-rights activists are warning of the consequences of weak digital privacy protections in a post-Dobbs landscape. Even before the decision, law enforcement had been honing tactics that could now be used against people seeking an abortion in states where it’s banned—or beyond.

Academics have found that searches for abortion pills have skyrocketed since the Dobbs ruling. Such data could be tempting to law enforcement, whose requests for records from Google have been rising steadily. Search queries have already played into prosecutions, as in a 2018 Mississippi murder case against a woman who delivered a stillborn baby. Investigators said her search for the abortion medication misoprostol showed intent. (The murder charge was dropped later that year.)

What has to happen before that becomes a suggestion from Google?

1. If it's like Ulvalde, they'll just stand around and do not a fucking thing.

2. There's no physical risk to them, so they could very well intervene.

3. Exactly

So wear body army and have an AR-15 or 2.

I am only half joking.

6. Yep, maybe women should carry assault rifles.

Men pick on women because they know women can't or won't fight back.

Can you imagine what men would do if laws were passed regulating their penis?

Guns would be blazing 24/7.

4. I dunno, crying woman with a "suspect miscarriage"

These guys will conveniently remember how armed and armored they are.

5. They aren't afraid of a pregnant woman, just active shooters.

Such cowards.
