This is one very good example why strong and secure encrypted communication apps should be the default. You should not have to be at the mercy of fb in order to talk to your mom about personal and private matters. It may not have mattered too much in this particular case as the tip came from a judas but it no doubt does, or will, in others going forward.

Not to mention that abortion is medically indistinguishable from miscarriage, if they didnt talk or act with intent to perform an abortion would anyone have noticed in the first place?

Edit: right, just noticed the sub this was posted on. y'all already know.

Celeste’s purportedly private, self-managed abortion—conducted outside of the healthcare system—was suddenly public and criminal because a close friend betrayed her trust.

What a fucking piece of shit.

If there ever was a time for anti snitch culture to actually make a comeback...

[-] Mrderisant@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Sumer the snitch is a real bitch. Your friend trusted your and you betrayed her. Just because it's"the law" doesn't make it right. I don't snitch on my pot plug.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

I've been seeing the name "Sumer" a lot in recent years. Isn't it supposed to be "Summer"? How do you pronounce "Sumer"?

Tip number two: Celeste’s friend and fellow high-schooler, Sumer (last name withheld for privacy)

Snitches don't deserve privacy.

Everyone deserves privacy! As soon as you say except those people, then nobody has privacy.

Privacy is a human right

Women in the US (and elsewhere!) have gotten really tired of being treated like objects. The abortion is murder bullshit doesn't take at all into account the selectivity of the human pregnancy process or that criminalizing abortions doesn't reduce abortions. Though it will reduce safe abortions and it will feed more people into the US prison industrial complex. Already the US has more inmates than any other nation in the world, either total or per capita. Including China and the DPRK.

Announcing on this thread that you believe abortion is murder (even implicitly) is a fast track to getting blocked by me. You don't want to be in my feed? Now's your chance!

I don't expect to change your mind. Here in the states, the government is already challenging a woman's bodily autonomy. They're already second class citizens.

If you like kids, and think there should be more of them in the States, then push for free school lunches.

Push for shorter hours and better wages for workers (my parents were tired and unavailable for my entire life, and this absolutely figures into my lifelong major depression).

Push for healthcare for children.

Push for living salaries and proper supplies for teachers.

Push for teaching curricula that will prepare kids to lead in redefining society for themselves, rather than shoving them into a worker or soldier die to be used, broken and expended for some billionaire's vanity project. Demonstrate that an unborn baby is more to you than the next broken Amazon warehouse worker.

Push for getting law enforcement violence out of schools. Demonstrate that an unborn black kid is more to you than the next convict forced to work for their time (prison slavery, which is still legal in the US) denied any other opportunity except below-subsistence work...as an Amazon warehouse worker.

Push for fucking crisis response to the climate crisis and the plastic crisis. Pretend that you actually care there will be future generations wondering what the fuck you were doing.

Until you care about actual kids and the adults who might raise them, then I figure you really don't give any fucks about unborn life either, except as a means to virtue signal your white Christian national brethren, or worse you're a capitalist who only cares about infants as product, and then people as factory machines in the production line. Human capital.

Snitches get stitches. Let's not revert to the Nazi Germany "sell out your neighbor" bullshit.

[-] Urbanfox@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

That's delightful.

I do have to laugh at the zealots as they do pick and choose what bits of the bible they live their lives by. It's almost as if they heard someone else say something and took it as gospel without doing their own research.

I have picked up a copy of the bible, with the aim of understanding it to be able to have an informed discussion on religious arguments.

[-] Saneless@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's difficult to have a discussion. Since the bible is contradictory they can always find something to wiggle around. You are trying to combat a deadly combo of little education, low intelligence, and proud ignorance. You don't have a chance

The real play is to dismiss it as the book of fiction it is, and as an adult I refuse to live by laws created from fan fic
