    Important to note that police only sought the warrant after the women mentioned to them that they had talked on Facebook messenger about it.

    Never talk to the police.

      Also worth noting the daughter was 4 months pregnant.

      That seems pretty far along to be helping someone have an abortion without a doctor.

        That’s what happens in red states that ban abortion. It becomes illegal to go to a doctor for it.

        Banning abortion only makes women seek back alley abortions that are risks to their own lives.

          While that certainly is a valid point, saying she please guilty for having an abortion is a very misleading headline.

    “Counselors” be like: I’m sworn to professional secrecy, but I’ll rat you the fuck out if I think you’re doing something slightly illegal. Now tell me your secrets!

        I mean, what they did would be illegal regardless of Dobbs and in the entire EU. This isn’t the case to prove that point, which is why it very quickly faded after the initial run of misleading headlines when it happened. I’m absolutely pro choice but the woman and her daughter are not poster children for victims of the pro life movement. They committed actual crimes and she put her daughter in actual danger. They then openly admitted to police that they discussed it on an unencrypted and available messaging system which resulted in a valid warrant issued by a judge with due process.

        This just plain isn’t a smoking gun against anti abortionists or Meta. The more you pretend it is the more it ruins your credibility to anyone that actually reads the details of the case.

        It happened in April of 22 and was widely reported in august of 22. This specific story was rehashed with a recent date but considering it’s been posted like 5 times each on 3 different subreddits I missed the posting date of this specific instance of the same exact year old rehash.

        It caused a huge stink for about 48 hours when it was originally reported then very quickly faded into obscurity when people actually learned the details of it.
