Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

and what happens if you don't register
I'd imagine you don't voluntarily get on this registry. It's not a gift registry
well what happens if you don’t register
It's not designed to have women register themselves. What self-respecting woman would voluntarily report that they might get an abortion, in a state that is openly hostile to that?
Nope, the reporting would be done by nosy health care providers (and perhaps even neighbors, like in TX). Are you a woman of child-bearing age who has to go out of state unexpectedly? Someone might add you to this list. You know, just in case.
Well if the votership has anything to do with it: something around 30 to 40% would happily volunteer that information.
They would volunteer that info on their neighbors, but not themselves. Why? Because the only moral abortions are their own.
Speculation: Probably it'll be mandatory by providers if you attend prenatal care. So it will result in some women avoiding prenatal care putting themselves and their unborn at risk.
I'm sure the doctors will be forced to put them on the list. No doctor visits for women until they determine whether the pregnancy is going to kill them or not, because they'll be fuckd the second the State finds out.
you don't get pregnant, obviously
