PHILADELPHIA — The prospect that the U.S. Supreme Court could soon strike down its landmark abortion-rights decision in Roe v. Wade has galvanized some social media users — from Pennsylvania to Colorado, and New Jersey to Canada — to organize an unofficial abortion aid network for the internet age.
On sites like TikTok, women are posting videos offering out-of-state abortion seekers a place to stay and assistance with transportation, with some using code words like "camping" or "site-seeing" instead of "abortion."
"If anyone needs a 'vacation to the woods,' consider the campfire already started," wrote one woman, who said she lived in Pennsylvania, tagging the post "#roevwade." "I've got a cozy and safe tiny shed for relaxation and recovery."
