how jane protects her digital privacy
Hi, I’m Jane.
I recently found out I’m pregnant and want to get an abortion. In my town, people have very strong opinions about abortion, making me cautious about where and how I get help. I learned about the importance of keeping my digital information safe, so others can't find out about my plans.
Let me take you through my journey to understand how I ensure my personal information stays private.
BEFORE YOU CALL THE HOTLINE
Home Privacy: Getting Started Safe at Home
My journey begins at home, where privacy must first be secured. I want to ensure no one else knows what I'm doing online, like talking to friends or looking things up.
I’ve put together a smart To-Do List to keep my plans private.
To-Do List
Prepaid Phone Check: I’m considering getting a prepaid phone to use temporarily. I assess if I can afford it.
Friend’s Phone Option: If a prepaid phone isn't feasible, I think about using a friend's phone who understands and supports my need for privacy.
Exploring Hushed: I look into Hushed, a service offering temporary phone numbers, and check if it fits my budget.
If you have an IUD in place, it may need to be removed before a medication abortion.
Allergies to certain medications (Prostaglandins or Mifepristone)
Taking blood-thinning medications (except aspirin)
Long-term use of corticosteroid medications
Ectopic pregnancy
Bleeding disorders
Chronic adrenal failure

Legal Privacy: Knowing Your Rights
I found out that getting an abortion in my state is challenging due to strict laws. I want to know my rights and how to proceed safely, so I start looking for help and ways to keep my plans private.
To-Do List
Ask for Help: I contact a group knowledgeable about the laws to understand my rights and available support.
Keep Records Secret: I keep notes about my conversations and what I learn on Crypt Pad (https://cryptpad.fr/) to ensure privacy and plan to destroy them after the abortion.
Stay Anonymous: When seeking advice, I use a special email and a pseudonym (a false name) to keep my identity hidden.
If you have an IUD in place, it may need to be removed before a medication abortion.
