    Seems like a good trade off. 2 years in prison < 18 years in prison. Anyway, fuck Nebraska.

      Let’s not forget that this is because Meta gave away Facebook messages that they thought were private. Do not use Facebook messenger! Or SMS!!

        Jeez, that should be the headline.

        “Facebook exposes messages that land a mom in prison for giving her daughter abortion pills.”

          “Facebook exposes messages that land a mom in prison for giving her daughter health care treatment.”

          Pregnancy is a medical condition with possibly lethal health risks and abortion is a treatment for those that don’t accept those risks.

          Abortion is health care.

            Eh. I don’t see why we need to use vague terms when we could use specific ones.

              Because people need to think of abortions access as health care. The same as cancer treatment, diagnosing illness, or getting stitches. And that starts with messaging.

              Abortion is health care.

                That’s fine, but it seems disingenuous to use the general term ‘health care’ when you could be more specific with what that health care actually is.

                  I don’t think it’s disingenuous at all. It’s treatment for a woman’s health. Calling out people for disapproving of health care is half the point.

                  Abortion is health care.

                    Killing a 6 month premie isn’t abortion though. That fetus’ bodily autonomy was violated.

                    Agreed that abortion is Healthcare. There’s also a tipping point where it’s no longer a cluster of cells, right?

                    I mean, you literally said to call it by a general term to get people to think a certain way about it.

                    I feel like we should tell them the specific information and let them make their own decision instead of resorting to sly tricks like this.

        Does anyone have an article that describes point by point why Facebook is harmful? I’m having trouble getting my friends to switch to signal.
