Every minute spent tracking down a lady getting an abortion is a minute not spent tracking down a murderer or a rapist or similar.

> getting an abortion is a minute not spent tracking down a murderer

but see, there are people who believe abortion is murder, and perhaps one of the worst forms of murder because of its victim’s extreme innocence since it has not caused any harm in this world.

(amazing username.)

You assume that a lady getting an abortion is not committing murder--these folks clearly think she is.

(We don't need to argue about whether it is in fact murder, or whether if it is that the murder is justified or not--just understand that there are people that believe differently, and apparently they're willing to expend police resources on it.)

"Last May, EFF reported that a sheriff’s office in Texas searched data from more than 83,000 automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion." These people really have nothing better to do?

It's no longer safe to even use a period tracking app in many US states now. The women I know are all cautioning each other to go back to pen and paper, and ditch anything app based.

Correct and you shouldn't use any health apps that don't take your privacy seriously.

Most of us here knows ways around this, but many people are not educated. One method is get off your smart phone and boot tails and do the searches there. Maybe that is something EFF can make known. Like list trusted onion sites that have information where women can go and get help.

You boot tails to track your period?
