It is heartening to hear this. Used to be a hobby of mine as well, got my tech license at 11. Unfortunately it was spoiled for me by the same guy, but now I'm considering it again as things seem increasingly uncertain.
It used to be so exhausting to explain my parent who is a former wiccan, 80s computer nerd that couldn't hold a job so got on disability to smoke pot and do racist ham radio, and also believes pyramids have a special chamber that sharpens razorblades..but now I can just say "Trump lover" um thanks?🫠
This may be a way around for some, but there are always going to be people for whom this is not an option. Delivery complications can become serious very quickly, and if we're in a situation where adequate prenatal care hasn't been accessible those risks skyrocket.
Even more alarming, later in the bill's language it appears to state that any of the information including identifying details may be provided to law enforcement at their (also vague) suspicion of potential abuse. Obv not pro abuse - but there seem to be no parameters here.
Seems pretty antithetical in a state which allows abortions. Vagueness isn't the fundamental issue here - it's that we're calling into question access to a right the voters decided on. Creating lists of - let's be real here - the poor people who are disadvantaged enough to have to seek state aid.
MO HB807 - calls for the establishment of a registry of expectant mothers who are "at-risk" of seeking an abortion...how the fuck do you determine that, and in a state whose voters have legalized abortion access? MO voters, tell them why this is fucked.

I'd rather have no information than wrong information fed by an algorithm. At least then you still have the potential to gather your own data to arrive at a conclusion.
F-book didn't like me talking about the capitalist hellscape so I had to look for a new echo chamber. This seems cozy for the moment...assuming I can motivate myself to learn a new platform 😮💨
