In September of last year\, the Texas legislature passed one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the nation\, prohibiting all proce dures after 6 weeks\, without exceptions for rape or incest. But SB8 goe s further\, giving citizens with no connection to the woman the right to sue in civil court any person who aids her in seeking an abortion. As P lanned Parenthood states\, this means that “private citizens can sue oth er Texans for having or aiding in the procurement of an abortion — they can sue anyone from the person who drives the patient to the clinic to t he doctor who performs the abortion.” (https://www.plannedparenthoodacti on.org/planned-parenthood-pennsylvania-advocates/blog/how-did-texas-get- to-sb8) As the EFF predicts\, “The result will be a chilling effect on s peech and a litigation cudgel that will be used to silence those who see k to give women truthful information about their reproductive options.”& #13\;\n \;\nSince 2017\, the Digital Defense Fund has brought enginee rs and organizers together to provide security and technology support fo r the abortion access movement. Kate Bertash\, Director of the DDF\, wil l speak during our January event about the critical work the DDF does to create "\;a future where technology and innovation support secure\, autonomous reproductive decisions\, free from stigma.” \;\n \;\nS peaker bio: \;\n \;\nKate Bertash (she/her) is Director of the Dig ital Defense Fund\, a team providing technology and security resources a nd front-line support to the American abortion access movement.
