Until anti-abortion laws are knocked down,
(They are blatantly unconstitutional because they establish one religion's beliefs and forces them on others who believe differently)
Take precautions and help others stay out of the way of the "church police"

When people let one "little" breach of the constitution after another slide, AND DON'T STAND UP TO INJUSTICE we all lose.

Facebook turned over chat messages between mother and daughter now charged over abortion
Facebook turned over the chats of a mother and her daughter to Nebraska police after they were served with a warrant as part of an investigation into an illegal abortion, court documents show.
If we expect jurors to nullify unconstitutional laws against abortion (because, IMO, they establish one religion's beliefs as law, against other religions who do not share that belief,) then companies SHOULD REFUSE warrants based on blatantly unconstitutional laws.
BUT THEY DON'T
Zuckerberg, roast in hell.
As for nullification, STANDING UP TO TYRANNY is the RIGHT THING TO DO.
And "going with the flow" puts you, your company, in the company of cowards and "compliants" that tyrants need.

The One Thing People Can Do to Keep Anyone Who Has an Abortion Out of Prison
Restoring the rights lost in Dobbs will require massive political mobilizationfar more than any one person could possibly achieve. But one person is all it takes to stave off at least some of the most devastating harms of criminalization. A single jurors vote of not guilty can spare a defendantany potential parent, doctor, friend, or anyone else prosecuted and brought to trialfrom criminal conviction. Regardless of the strength of the evidence. Regardless of what the judge believes. Regardless of how many other jurors disagree. Its every jurors super-power.
Jury nullificationor the power of jurors to vote to acquit even in the face of overwhelming evidenceis rooted in English common law and has been an American tradition since before the nations founding. For instance, in 1735, a journalist and printer named John Peter Zenger was charged with libel for publishing articles critical of New Yorks colonial governor. Zenger did not deny publishing the articles. Instead, he argued that they were true. Although truth was not a valid defense to libel at the time, he asked the jury to acquit him on that ground nonetheless. They did. Other examples of nullification abound. Juries nullified prosecutions of abolitionists charged under the Fugitive Slave Act and businesspeople charged with alcohol-trafficking during Prohibition.

Nullification in Abortion Prosecutions

Five Justices are poised to disrupt a half century of expectations, and there is little political recourse. It is precisely in such cases that the jury can serve as a bulwark against the injustices of the state(s).
Update, they did.
