No, it’s worse. All of these steps are asynchronous besides #1, which they don’t need to do upfront… We are apparently in the age of “I can draw a square on google maps, so that makes me privy to [chunk of mass privacy information]”.
Worse is they don’t even need the mapping platform to cooperate. Most of this information probably still flows through second-party data brokers or else we would have heard whispers that those organizations are “too big to fail” or something.
- markdown 4y agoYup, women in the US need to be extremely careful about the apps they install. In Texas, app devs can get massive bounties for reporting if a woman has a medical procedure.
- leereeves 4y agoJust a comment on your obfuscating language: lethal injection is also a medical procedure. Abortion is a complex issue that should be discussed honestly, not obfuscated.
- addicted 4y agoLethal injection is not a medical procedure. If it was a medical procedure it wouldn’t make the recipient’s condition deliberately worse than it was before the procedure. Just because a procedure involves injecting chemicals in someone’s body doesn’t mean it’s medical. And abortion is not a complex issue. The only arguments against it are religious and there are religions which require it, so in a purportedly secular country the answer is very simple.

Would you consider donating a kidney to be a medical procedure? > And abortion is not a complex issue. I am super pro-choice, but this is a silly statement. Just go ask a bunch of pro-choice people at what point they believe abortion is wrong and you'll get a whole bunch of different answers.
- leereeves 4y agoBy that definition abortion isn't a medical procedure either, because it makes one of "the recipient’s condition deliberately worse than it was before the procedure". And there are human rights arguments against abortion that have nothing to do with religion. Most people agree that the unborn acquire the right to live at some point, and the argument is mostly about when exactly. (Even Roe set that point well before birth.)
- UncleMeat 4y agoThe recipient of an abortion is the pregnant person who does not want to be pregnant.
