A modern abortion ban necessarily involves the absolute erosion of all privacy rights for everyone who may become pregnant. All become suspects the moment they miss a period.

Merely *being* pregnant will you on a list to monitor, in real-time, for suspicious activity.

Every natal health concern will be viewed as a possible crime, the moment that data gets transmitted.

And that is data which will be reflected in a hundred disparate ways, across one's digital footprint, some completely unexpected and unintuitive.

Anyone who may become pregnant, becomes subject to the whole well-organized surveillance apparatus built up, over decades, that was previously aimed at other people. People they may not have particularly cared for.

Look at FOSTA/SESTA for example.

That same surveillance that they may have dismissed as applying to *those* people, now will be focused on them.

The same private-sector channels of doxxing and targeting, now levied at trans people, sex workers, etc will apply to pregnant people.

The groundwork of the surveillance apparatus that will now target pregnant people, was laid by building one for sex workers and other groups that society, in general, didn't particularly think deserves privacy.

Oh: FOSTA/SESTA?

Passed 388-25 in the house, 97-2 in the senate. Ubiquitous digital surveillance of sexworkers was *overwhelmingly* bipartisan.

The democrats didn't give a single shit about that apparatus possibly being expanded to include pregnant people.

Now there's a firmly entrenched, massive ecosystem of surveillance that literally did not exist in 1973 and has gotten even more powerful within only the last 5 years.

The impact of choosing to pardon the J6s is far greater than the number of yrs reduced, so not trying to downplay those pardons.

And the clear corruption of current choices is ... super-bad too.

Think it's more that it's also important to realize JUST HOW MANY person-yrs of prison the Feds impose.

If accepted, widening the net of further institutionalization & confinement pursued against people with a mental health diagnosis

Just cause it’s “the best option” we have or has been an improvement doesn’t mean it’s ethical. And it is important to note his financial conflict of interest when he opposes socialized healthcare (like he did last week), etc. Feel free to argue with yourselves about other things I didn’t say 🤷‍♂️

Profit reports are not public but estimated they made at least $25M in the first 3Q of 2023. Should people make money off of products people need? I’ll let you decide. But making literal lifesaving medications a for-profit business is not ethical by any definition. There are no ethical billionaires.
