Tell Facebook and Instagram to Stop Hiding Fact-Based Abortion Information
As an abortion rights supporter, I am alarmed that you have chosen to hide vital information about abortion pills. During the ongoing pandemic, accurate information about abortion pills can be life-saving for people who can become pregnant; and as state-level restrictions like Texas’ six-week ban further restrict abortion access, this information will only increase in importance. Facebook and Instagram must stop blocking access to important, accurate medical information and further stop caving to the demands of anti-abortion activists, who frequently flood social media with purposeful disinformation with potential to cause severe mental and physical harm to those they seek to oppress, often in direct contradiction to content policies.
