    I’ll just say, by protecting privacy we will protect other rights. Privacy means the right to hold safe and personal communications about various topics. If safe and personal communications are used as a mean to handle abortion and other heath rights, protecting the first equals to protectong the other - * two birds with one stone* -. Our privacy is consistently being attacked from sides. Acting now is ever more important.

      I just have some ethical concerns about abortion. I don’t live in a European country so maybe the culture and ethics are a little different. At the end of the day we all have different views but privacy is really important for democracy

        Whatever ethical concerns you have about abortion, the only way to enforce anti-abortion laws is to strip women of their medical privacy. If you want privacy rights, you need to stand for abortion rights. If you stand against abortion rights, you stand against the right to privacy.

        Because at the end of the day, the difference between an elective abortion and a medically necessary abortion are the details discussed between a woman and her doctor. The only way the government gets to draw a line on what is or isn’t allowed is if they get to be an obligate part of that conversation.
