Ah yes, the party of ‘keep the government out of my business!’ is all for sticking their noses into other people’s business. Fucking hypocrites.
How the hell do republican women even exist not to mention all the republican women in government. Does none of these affect them or are they always pregnant?
Some are white and wealthy enough that the rules don’t apply. Some are in abusive relationships and feel forced to vote a certain way. Some are in traditional marriages where the husband controls everything, especially what’s on TV and see nothing but Fox news. Some are older and in social circles that completely avoids politics, so they just vote how husband says to vote. Some are incredibly religious and only vote the way the pastor says, because they truly think God wants that.
Abortion is wrong but if I needed one then mine is ethical because I had a good reason. /s
Rules for thee but not for me
It’s a completely normal idea. /s
Small government, not interfering with people’s freedoms, just as they always preach.
Republicans: We need a federal database to track pregnant women!
Republicans: Putting gun owners into a federal database is a violation of personal freedoms!
Making sense isn’t their thing
As pointed out to me yesterday in a similar thread, all this person wants to do is create a website with resources trying to steer women away from abortion. Not track them.
they can consent to share their contact information “which the (Department of Health and Human Services) Secretary may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to follow up with users on additional resources.”
The bill doesn’t explain how this collected data would be handled or who would have access to it. Critics said that vagueness poses concerns for pregnant women’s privacy.
That is right, but also wrong.
A. Just because giving data is consensual, does not mean it can’t/won’t be used against you. “Anything you say or said will be used against you in a court of law”
B. There are no protections for this data. Who gets access to it?
This is a trap being masqueraded as helpful for women that are pregnant, when this is the same trap as “Life clinics” faking being abortion clinics.
I agree with you.
B. There are no protections for this data. Who gets access to it?
The only protection the requires is that there is a “privacy policy”. Here’s the actual text of the bill:
on page 3
“‘(4) A mechanism for users to take an assess-8 ment through the website and provide consent to use9 the user’s contact information, which the Secretary10 may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to11 follow up with users on additional resources that12 would be helpful for the users to review.”
and page 13
“have a privacy policy and procedures13 in place to ensure that—14 (i) the name, address, telephone num-15 ber, or any other information that might16 identify any woman seeking services sup-17 ported through the grant is not made pub-18 lic or shared with any other entity without19 the written consent of the woman; and20 (ii) the grantee adheres to require-21 ments comparable to those applicable22 under the HIPAA privacy regulation (as23 defined in section 1180(b)(3) of the Social24 Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320d–9(b)(3)))”
Yeah, it’s called every pregnant woman’s blood draw sample for testing gestational diabetes. Not to mention all of the other blood draws. Does she believe that DOJ isn’t sent dna off of nearly every blood draw that doctors, and hospitals, make? Considering how many surnames and faces repeat in politics, I bet the feds all keep track of who is breeding so well, that they can predict when the next baby will be born to which family. The only ones they probably can’t forecast, after so many decades of watching families breed in this country, are the migrants that cross the border while pregnant.
I don’t work in the lab but I guarantee where I work, none of our samples go to the government lol
