"Trump’s second administration is all but guaranteed to impose major federal restrictions on #abortion access. These new limitations will apply nationwide, to states both red and blue, including those that just enshrined a right to protect abortion in their constitutions. It will be harder to access reproductive health care everywhere."
By Mark Joseph Stern
This is an amazing concept....
Open Sourced "3D Printed" Pharmaceuticals
Build your own pill printing machine. Feed it an open sourced "recipe" / medical chemical compound instruction. Add some base ingredients. And make your own medicine.
This is an exceedingly solarpunk idea and could be a core aspect of a post-scarcity world as it relates to healthcare.
They have information about abortion medication (Misoprostol), ADHD medication (Vyvance), and more.
There are obvious issues - especially around quality control, safety, effectiveness, and application. And the makers address this - but wow. Just wow.
I very specifically have not verified any of this. But I'm incredibly interested in diving in and learning about it and its feasibility.
The anarchist collective behind this venture, Four Thieves Vinegar Collective (@4thievesvinegar), spoke at this last DefCon 32. See @mixael's talk here (via Peertube): https://kolektiva.media/w/uvD1wWTRoh7HEto8zeSswr
Here is a @404mediaco article by @jasonkoebler : https://www.404media.co/right-to-repair-for-your-body-the-rise-of-diy-pirated-medicine/
Here is their main website: https://fourthievesvinegar.org
Here is are the open sourced instructions (along with parts list - both purchased and off the shelf along with 3D printed parts): https://github.com/FourThievesVinegar/solderless-microlab
Definitely something to follow and learn more about. I'm excited and hope this is effective and grows.
(HT @aeischeid for highlighting the article and HT my dear friend for telling me about it after going to their DefCon talk!)

#Arizona voters will get to decide in Nov whether to add the right to an #abortion to the state constitution.
The AZ secretary of state’s office said Mon that it had certified 577,971 signatures — far above the required number that the coalition supporting the ballot measure had to submit in order to put the question before voters.

‘Readers across Texas found an unusual message in the Sunday editions of their newspapers: A letter from Gov. #MichelleLujanGrisham, inviting the neighboring state's medical providers to come work in #NewMexico.
In addition to the state's natural beauty, the governor touted New Mexico's commitment to "protecting women's health and abortion access" as one reason to move out of Texas, where nearly all abortions are banned.’ https://drive.proton.me/urls/6CNQ8ZMNHC#4l7E4U1r64HV #AbortionAccess

The decision, which has not been announced by the court, would mean that #hospitals could perform #EmergencyAbortions to stabilize patients w/o being subject to prosecution under Idaho’s #AbortionBan. It would be at least a temporary victory for the #Biden admin, which has struggled to protect #AbortionAccess since the high court overturned #RoeVWade 2 yrs ago.

Not all #Democrats agree that attempting to repeal the #Comstock Act’s #abortion provisions should be an election-year priority, worried it will distract from the party’s existing efforts to protect #AbortionAccess & to focus voters’ attention on #ReproductiveHealth issues. While Pres #Biden has heavily campaigned on #Republicans’ efforts to limit #abortion, he has not endorsed repealing Comstock & has avoided focusing on the #law.
#Democrats seek to repeal #Comstock #abortion rule, fearing #Trump crackdown
Democrats are seeking to overhaul an 1873 federal #law that #bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail, worried that a future Trump admin could invoke the #ComstockAct to crack down on #AbortionAccess or effectively #ban the procedure altogether.

The conservative Supreme Court justices today are just like most Supreme Court justices have always been: entrenched in the view that the federal government does not have the power nor the right to protect ALL of its citizens, notwithstanding the triumph of the 14th Amendment, which attempts to make dual sovereignty fully compatible with democracy. 1/ #LawFedi #women #abortion #AbortionAccess
The 2 rulings put the 2 states in the “most restrictive” category for #AbortionAccess & policies, acc/to the Guttmacher Inst, a research & policy org that advocates for #ReproductiveRights & tracks #abortion #access.
The rulings could lead to the closure of reproductive #health #clinics in the 2 states.
#Florida’s new restrictions would put the #Miami & #Tampa metro areas -w/a combined population of ~9M people- >500 miles from the nearest clinic in a state w/o a near-total or 6wk #AbortionBan.
#Arizona’s near-total #ban means that any woman who wants/needs to end a pregnancy must leave the state to do so unless her life is determined at risk.
#Florida's top court on Apr 1 cleared the way for a #Republican-backed #law banning #abortion after #6weeks of pregnancy, down from 15 wks, to take effect in May.
FL’s law means that women after 6 wks - before most know they are pregnant - would need to leave the state to do so.
#Abortion restrictions in #Arizona & #Florida will increase the distance to the nearest abortion clinic for millions.
Courts in AZ & FL have moved to further restrict #ReproductiveRights in the aftermath of #SCOTUS’ June 2022 decision that overturned the landmark 1973 #RoeVWade ruling that had legalized abortion nationwide.
AZ’s top court on April 9 revived a #ban on nearly all abortions under a state #law dating to 1864, 48 yrs before it gained statehood.
