Texas anti-abortion whistleblower site now hosted by right-wing, neo-Nazi web server / LGBTQ Nation

Texas Right to Life’s anti-abortion whistleblower site has found a new home on a web hosting service popular with right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis. Even so, the site’s aims may be even too extreme for its new far-right hosts.

The site, prolifewhistleblower.com, asks people to leave anonymous tips reporting doctors, clinics or other individuals that may have helped women get an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected.

Texas anti-abortion tipster site booted by web host

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.
