Several American media outlets state that Meta’s both services Facebook and Instagram have started deleting posts where users offer to send abortion pills to people who are in need of such. The whole thing was brought to attention in connection with the United States last week making restrictions on the country’s abortion legislation.
Users who repeatedly post posts offering abortion pills have also seen their accounts shut down completely from Facebook and Instagram. A spokesperson for Meta tells the news agency AP that they have removed the posts as they violate the services’ guidelines which prohibit posts that, for example, offer medicines, drugs and weapons.
AP itself tested making a post that offered to send abortion pills to interested parties, which was immediately removed from Facebook. When you made the same post but exchanged the words “abortion pills” for “weed” (“weed” but also slang for marijuana) and “guns” (weapon), something that should also be banned according to Facebook’s guidelines, these posts were allowed to remain on the service.
It may be added that in the United States it is legal to send abortion pills by mail, which is not the case with marijuana.

Abortion resistance in Sweden may increase following US idiocy
RFSU warns of that
Yesterday, the US Supreme Court took the phenomenally idiotic, but unfortunately not unexpected, decision to overturn the almost 50-year-old ruling Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed women in the country the right to abortion. When idiocy like this gets air, it unfortunately has a tendency to spread to other idiots internationally. This is something that Hans Linde, chairman of RFSU, now warns can also happen here in Sweden. To Aftonbladet he says: – I think we will see how the abortion opposition in Sweden will try to use it to question the right to abortion in our country as well. However, he mentions that the trend in general around the world is going in the right direction, ie towards strengthened abortion rights. Yesterday’s setback against this right may, however, mean that the trend may stagnate, which is undeniably obra.
