THREAD: Abortion is marketed to minors before they can consent to sex without acknowledgement of the risks and without support for reporting their abuse.

#ReThinkAbortion
This Amaze video was included in school curriculum material for 10 - 13 yr olds. It is about medical abortions & self-managed abortions with websites to get the pills. They don't give info on the risks. Again it's aimed at girls below the age of consent.

This video describes how adults transport minor students for abortions without their parents' knowledge. No mention of assessing for rape or abuse to extend mental health or legal support. Abortion is their only concern.

This thread shows a pattern of protecting rapists at the expense of their minor victims. I have no doubt it's sometimes justified by a misplaced sense of empathy: "At least she could get the abortion." Sometimes it's just profit driven.

This thread includes data on the safety risks of abortion pills being marketed as "safe and effective" for diy at home abortions, including to minors as shown above.

This thread gives more information on where the Amaze video above is linked and how it is being promoted in some schools.

THREAD: Is the abortion pill "safe and effective"? That depends on how you define the terms. They are definitely more dangerous for the mother than early surgical abortions. More information below.
The United States does not require abortion clinics to collect safety data, so we do not have coherent information to base safety decisions on.

Some states report no abortion information to the CDC. For the states that do report information, there is a wide variance in what is reported and how complete that information is.

It is repeatedly claimed that abortion pills via telemedicine are "safe and effective" in support of the FDA's decision to remove an in-person appointment requirement.

What evidence did the FDA use to make that decision?

#abortionishealthcare ?
In an April 12, 2021 letter to Drs. Phipps and Grobman, the FDA pointed to four studies to support their change in policy allowing abortion pills to be prescribed without an in-person visit.

Kerestes et al. (2021) studied medical abortions in Hawaii. Of 327 patients, 110 were seen in person, with two requiring an ER visit and one requiring additional misoprostol (Kerestes et al., 2021).

These tweets from Yoel Roth seem to support a worldview that would be indifferent towards child exploitation content and aggressive toward pro-life speech.

Another medical professional spreading misleading info that prioritizes politics over women's wellbeing.

She's ties abortion laws to a pharmacy denying a prescription (w/claims her friend could die) but refused to engage with the pharmacy to address the issue.

#ReThinkAbortion
Here's the claim:

Note that Texas law does not prohibit any specific medication from being prescribed. The law only prohibits illegal abortions, so prescriptions *for illegal abortions* would be prohibited. Prescriptions for other purposes remain legal.
If true, the pharmacy would be at fault for declining to fill a legal and necessary (and non-controversial) prescription. But she focuses on a law she doesn't like instead, even refusing to engage with the pharmacy who was willing to address and correct their mistake (if true).

From what I've seen this surgery often has a lower official age of consent (17) than a gender affirming hysterectomy (18), but carries far greater risks.

JH doesn't specify age of consent for any procedure (that I could find) and barley mention risks.
