Roe Rockenings: Felony Charges, Digital Surveillance, and Big Tech’s B.S. 🔥

Another week, another gut-wrenching assault on reproductive rights. The US is in full-on dystopia mode—cops are hauling midwives away at gunpoint, Big Tech is still censoring abortion info, and lawmakers are scrambling to clarify their own draconian laws (because even they can’t keep up with the cruelty). Buckle up.

🚨 Felony Charges for Healthcare Providers—Because Saving Lives is Now a Crime

Texas is leading the race to the bottom yet again. Maria Margarita Rojas, a Houston-area midwife, was arrested at gunpoint under felony abortion charges. A MIDWIFE. Arrested. At gunpoint. For allegedly providing abortion care. If convicted, she faces 20 years in prison and $100K fines per abortion—because apparently, giving people the medical care they need is now a crime in the US. The message is clear: If you help women and pregnant people make choices about their own bodies, the state will destroy you.

👀 Digital Surveillance is Coming for Your Abortion Pills

As if it’s not bad enough that abortion is criminalised, states are now tracking prescriptions for abortion pills like a damn drug cartel operation. Louisiana just classified misoprostol and mifepristone as controlled substances, meaning doctors must log every prescription into a state-run database. Who’s running the surveillance? A private tech firm. You know, because nothing says privacy like a third-party corporation collecting data on our reproductive choices. And surprise! Texas, Indiana, and Idaho are eyeing similar dystopian policies.

⚖️ Texas Scrambles to Clarify Its Own Barbaric Laws

Turns out, writing cruel, nonsensical abortion bans leads to actual medical chaos. Who could’ve guessed? Texas lawmakers are now scrambling to clarify when doctors can legally save a pregnant person’s life without risking prison time. That’s right—doctors have been so terrified of prosecution that they’ve been delaying or denying life-saving care. And now Texas wants credit for maybe fixing the mess they created? Nope. Not buying it.

📊 Who Suffers the Most? The People Anti-Choice Lawmakers Claim to “Protect”

New research confirms what advocates have been screaming for years: abortion bans hit marginalised communities the hardest. Women in anti-abortion states are being forced to carry high-risk pregnancies, and guess what? Infant mortality is rising. Because forcing people into childbirth doesn’t make babies safer—it makes everyone sicker and poorer.

🤖 Big Tech is Still Silencing Abortion Content—Because Misogyny is Profitable

Oh, and Big Tech? Still censoring abortion-related content under the excuse of it being “explicit.” Right, because a medical procedure is too graphic, but violent threats, white supremacist propaganda, and straight-up misinformation get a free pass. It’s almost like tech companies don’t actually care about “community guidelines” and are just enforcing patriarchal control. Shocking.

🔥 Stay loud. Stay pissed off. Stay in the fight.
