ban, and people are spamming it with fake claimsPro-choice advocates are spamming a Texas website that encourages people report abortions performed after six weeks of pregnancy - which, come September 1, will be illegal in the state.
The website calls on "citizens to hold abortionists accountable to following the law" by anonymously reporting providers or others who've "aided and abetted" an abortion after six weeks.
That includes parents who drive their child to the clinic or friends who lend money for the procedure.
Those found to have violated the law will be fined at least $10,000, the website says.
Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice organizations have fought against the law going into effect, but Twitter users are opposing it in another way: by aiming to overwhelm the website with an influx of bogus claims.

(19,192 posts)they want, "citizens to hold abortionists accountable to following the law", but apparently they couldn't care less if their earthly messiah, MF45, breaks every law in the books, and consorts with prostitutes and porn actresses, all while being married with a child on the way.
These viscous hypocrites won't be happy until, "A Handmaid's Tale", becomes reality.
I hate these assholes with the energy of ten thousand suns. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

There are now two generations of very empowered women who have come up behind me. This is a generation that is used to rights being granted, not taken away. In no way will they passively lay down for this shit. They now have social media, etc. behind them. Even if Roe v Wade is overturned, the forced birthers might just end up being the dog that caught up with the pick up truck.

(12,646 posts)There's apparently no character limit in the reporting section - so someone pasted the script from " A Bug's Life" there and there's a place to upload files, including MP4s..
There's been a lot of porn uploaded at the site. And apparently the most popular report is "I saw Principal Skinner and Mrs. Crabapple in the closet making babies"..
Also, for some reasons, IPs from Florida have been blocked.
I doubt there's much actual "reporting" on that site. One would have to wade through a lot of "fun" to get anything that might be halfway real.
The secondary problem with that site, other than snitching on an ex, is that there is no way of determination if a report is being falsely used to punish women, families, and/or medical practitioners in a feud situation.
On edit - I doubt the site will remain up for more than a couple weeks at a time.

I say we make it uncomfortable for those who wish to impose their ideologies on everyone else. Let them explain why they are seeking an abortion!
