    It’s dystopian shit like this that is beginning to make me despair of what my country will be in 10 years time.

    The passing of the online safety bill, this sort of shit, the recent legislation making it more and more difficult to protest anything, the massive expansion of facial recognition cameras everywhere. We’re on the edge of a bad period I think.

      Possibly could have reworded that last sentence. Unless it was a deliberate pun?

      Can’t think what they’d want from this though. And why the police? They’ve got better things to do, this is a health matter.

      Nah bro if shit hits the fan, we can use the tech against politicians & super-rich . They can’t hide, look at both sides of the coin. Just keep doing good, don’t fret on the darkest possible outcome.

    “Given that one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, and the vast majority of them are unexplained, this rise in investigations of and the treatment of unexplained miscarriage as suspicious is deeply concerning…”

      And it’s often familial too.

      My family on my mothers side and my eldest sister all struggled to carry pregnancies to term in their 20’s, getting pregnant relatively easily, to then miscarry.

      Heck, my mothers mom died in childbirth giving birth to her, she first had a long string of miscarriages and then was on the old side to have babies when my mom came along.

      It’s all a very “hey, lets stigmatize and traumatize these people that are going through a horrible medical and psychological event in their lives some more!”.

      A lot of the time miscarriages also aren’t even known about, it just looks like an irregular cycle. So there’s a fairly good chance the pregnancy would be news to the person accused of getting an illegal abortion.

    When authoritarians don’t fear consequences, there’s is no limit to what they are willing to commit.

      Up to 24 weeks. Someone was recently jailed for self inducing an abortion near term. If we want to get technical, abortion is decriminalised in that it’s an offence to do it unless it’s done medically and two doctors need to sign off that it’s necessary for the physical or mental health of the patient.
