Guidelines were described as: “fuelling a culture of hostility and suspicion towards abortion and pregnancy loss”. We can see where this is leading…

Reposted from peterkwells

"Police have been issued guidance on how to search women’s homes for abortion drugs and check their phones for menstrual cycle tracking apps after unexpected pregnancy loss"

"...police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records..."

Insidious and very disturbing!

Gemma Clark, who’s campaigned hard on decriminalisation, has now set up a template letter to send to your MP. Her petition is debated on 2 June.

Fuck all that.

They can take a very long walk of a very short pier. Utterly foul

What??? 😧

I assumed this was America until I read further. I hate that these terrifying policies are permeating the UK too.

Likewise.

What the hell???? 🤬

This is suspiciously reminiscent of Project 2025.

joannechocolat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Isn’t it?

Gawds amighty. What next? Getting sanitory prodocts baptized cos it might just, might jussssst contain a little soul in need of redemtion?

This is terrifying.

Anyone who has been through the trauma of a stillbirth will be horrified. It was one of the worst experiences of our life - if you added this in - the damage would have been unimaginable.

This is disgusting!

Stop policing women's bodies and fertility!

Its leading to a brain dead body being kept on life support against the family’s wishes because she was 9 weeks pregnant at the time of her death.

oldandcrippled.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is itterly riduculous. What fucking business is it of anyone's other than the woman until it's born?

chronicleflask.katday.com•2 days ago

I just don’t understand this. What’s the public interest here? Why did anyone feel this guidance needed to be written?

jesswhitecroft.bsky.social•2 days ago

These people always show their hands as soon as they think things are going their way. They can't help it. They're children desperate to shout slurs and giggle at the commotion it causes.

chronicleflask.katday.com•2 days ago

But… but… this isn’t someone spouting an ill-thought-out opinion. This is actual police guidance. Why did someone ask that to be written? Why has it been distributed? I sincerely want to know (I’ve written to my MP to ask)

unamccormack.bsky.social•2 days ago

I assume their ultimate aim is to ban abortion, and this is an initial step.

jesswhitecroft.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep. They know what they're doing.

magslhalliday.bsky.social•2 days ago

jesswhitecroft.bsky.social•2 days ago

Someone paid for that to be written. It's the same dark fundie money that's being pumped into Project 2025, and now it's coming over here. Think-tanks, propagandists, endless bot farms - they've got bottomless pockets for this kind of nonsense. And the media eats it up.

chronicleflask.katday.com•2 days ago

I hope you’re wrong and there’s some… I don’t know… miscommunication here

jesswhitecroft.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hope so, too, but this fits with a wider pattern of bullshit.

abiknitsflora.bsky.social•2 days ago

So we write to our MPs now, before this snowball gets chance to grow. We have all seen where inaction has lead across the Pond

Thank you.

It's a shame they weren't interested in fostering a culture of hostility and suspicion toward people like David Carrick and Wayne Couzens.

Kind of ironic that a country where rape is described by those working with the survivors as 'essentially decriminalised' is so focused on this.

jeanneadebats.bsky.social•2 days ago

On croyait qu’avorter dans la clandestinité appartenait au passé. On découvre que vivre une fausse couche pourrait suffire à faire de vous une criminelle.
Ce n’est plus une dérive. C’est un basculement.

centeio.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is The Handmaid’s Tale kind of dystopian…

lydiamulvey.bsky.social•2 days ago

it's really not that much of a stretch to go from legal abortion to suspicion of pregnancy loss to pregnant people being put on monitors and policed until they give birth

lhepalmy.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is horrendous

ellief.bsky.social•2 days ago

What the actual ???
