A Texas law that bans abortion providers from carrying out terminations after fetal cardiac activity is detected, which is typically about six weeks into a pregnancy, went into effect this week after the Supreme Court opted not to intervene. The web hosting service took down the site at about 8 pm Friday, according to Texas Right to Life, the organization that launched the website. GoDaddy did not respond to requests for comment, but said in a tweet Friday that it “informed the website owner yesterday that they have violated GoDaddy’s terms of service and have 24 hours to move to a different provider.” “We will not be silenced,” Kimberlyn Schwartz, the director of media and communication for Texas Right to Life said in a statement sent to CNN. “If anti-Lifers want to take our website… Source link

The website, which was set up to allow people to submit anonymous tips about Texas abortions, was flooded with fake tips before it was taken down. AUSTIN, Texas — Web hosting company GoDaddy has removed a site set up by Texas Right to Life for users to submit anonymous tips about when the new Texas abortion law is being violated. The website, prolifewhistleblower.com, aimed to “help enforce the Texas Heartbeat Act,” a law that allows citizens to sue anyone performing or facilitating an abortion after around six weeks into the pregnancy. According to a release from Texas Right to Life, GoDaddy… Source link

In case you wanted to prank Texas’ new snitch site for people who don’t care for other people’s private health care decisions, you may want to get in line. As Daily Kos reported on Sept. 2, people across the country are flooding prolifewhistleblower.com with a cornucopia of fake tips and assorted web flotsam. That’s likely why the site’s “rat out your neighbor” function appears to be glitching (as of this writing, anyway). It’s a shame, because I’d planned to write up a thorough, double-spaced report on every last sperm I’ve squandered over the years — complete with a grainy “last known photo” for each luckless gamete. But, no. TikTokkers and other righteous rapscallions have beat me to it. As The New York Times reported: The fictional… Source link

AUSTIN, Sept 3 (Reuters) – Website hosting service GoDaddy Inc (GDDY.N) on Friday terminated services for the owner of an anti-abortion website that allows people to report suspected abortions in Texas. “Last night we informed prolifewhistleblower.com they have violated GoDaddy’s terms of service and have 24 hours to move to a different provider,” the company said in a statement. Texas has imposed a near-total ban on abortions, which took effect early on Wednesday and leaves enforcement up to individual citizens, enabling them to sue anyone who provides or “aids or abets” an abortion after six weeks. Citizens who win such lawsuits would be entitled to at least $10,000. Portions of the website which allow people to submit anonymous tips on suspected abortions on Friday showed a GoDaddy… Source link

Issued on: 03/09/2021 – 23:46Modified: 03/09/2021 – 23:44 Washington (AFP) A webpage seeking tips from the public to enforce Texas’s severe new abortion restrictions has been told to find a new company to host its site or go offline. The website, prolifewhistleblower.com, was set up by anti-abortion group Texas Right to Life to collect anonymous tips under the law barring terminations after six weeks of pregnancy — before many women know they are pregnant. According to the law, anyone living in Texas can sue an abortion provider or anyone suspected of “aiding” an abortion to take place, with $10,000 rewards if they win in a civil case.
