The War on Reproductive Freedom Is A War On Women, Their Security of the Person, and Their Privacy

Djw observes below that opponents of reproductive freedom are nothing if not creative in their use of state coercion to obstruct and punish women who choose to obtain abortions. Non-state actors can be similarly creative, and similarly reprehensible:
With assistance from her lawyer, over the course of the next few days, AJ would learn that in addition to the anonymous phone calls that had been made to the clinic while she and her daughter waited for her procedure, people unknown to AJ had faxed her daughter’s personal information—her name, medical information, and even her social security number—to countless numbers of doctors, police, and other strangers in at least two states, without AJ’s knowledge or consent. She would discover that her daughter had been picked up from school and driven across the state border by a person that AJ did not know. And before the saga was resolved, AJ would even find out that an attorney she’d never heard of had purported to represent her daughter, and had sent threatening letters to the abortion clinic, directly interfering with her daughter’s medical treatment.
A Rewire investigation has found that at the center of the drama that unfolded in AJ’s life was a document produced by Life Dynamics, the prominent anti-choice group that is based in Denton, Texas, which receives the majority of its funding from the fracking billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks. The Wilks brothers are also the main backers of Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign.
The document is a bogus “notice” that tricks women into believing they have signed away their legal rights to receive an abortion. Providers throughout the country have told Rewire that this document has been used for years to deceive and intimidate both patients and providers by threatening them with legal action should they go through with obtaining or providing an abortion.
For all the controversy that Donald Trump’s Kinseyian gaffe on abortion has attracted, Ted Cruz is even more horrible on the issue. As was Marco Rubio. Reasonable, moderate, thinking person’s man’s conservative John Kasich is also an anti-reproductive freedom fanatic. This is what Republican policy is.
