Shrek & Ted Cruz
Reported For Texas Abortion Violations On Anonymous Anti-Abortion Whistleblower
Site
by Izzy Casey
Have you ever
noticed that Ted Cruz and Shrek kind of look alike? Facial features are not the
only thing these two ogres have in common.
Brave and bold
Pro-choice TikTokers, Twitter users, and Redditors, have banded together to protest
Texas’ extreme abortion law by flooding an online whistleblower site with false
reports of Shrek and Ted Cruz getting abortions.
The new law
prohibits pregnant Texans from getting an abortion after the sixth week of
pregnancy prompting The Texas Right of Life, a right-wing anti-abortion group,
to create a digital tipline that allows people to send anonymous information
about potential violators of this corrupt law.
But not if these
clever social media users have something to say about it.
Fake reports flooded
Texas' abortion whistleblower sites.
Sean Black, TikTok
creator and activist, wrote a computer code that inputs false data into the
pro-life whistleblower website.
According to Black,
300 entries were input before the site blocked his IP address.
"But then I
started thinking, 'What if I made this a bit easier for everybody,'" Black
said in his viral TikTok.
And thus, an iOS
shortcut for Apple users that automatically fills in the website’s form was
born. The code completes the form, randomly picks a Texas city, county, and zip
code, and submits it.
"Because it
uses realistic information,” Black said,
“it makes it harder for them to parse through the data.”
Users have been
reporting Shrek and Ted Cruz to the Texas abortion watchdog.
"Ted Cruz had a
recreational abortion in Cut and Shoot Texas," someone posted to Twitter,
and he invited me to his "Fetus Deletus Party."
The Twitter user
posted a screenshot of their “complaint.”
Under the form
question, “How do you think the law has been violated?” they wrote, “Ted Cruz
had a recreational abortion and I am very upset that he ate all of the fetal
tissue without sharing it with the rest of our coven.”
“Wouldn’t it be so
awful if we sent in a bunch of fake tips and crashed the site? Like, Greg
Abbott’s butt stinks,” one TikToker said in a video that shows users how to
file a false report.
Another Twitter
filed another complaint about Ted Cruz. The location? Yee Haw, Texas.
“Ted Cruz pees in
his pants because he enjoys the warm feeling down his leg,” they wrote in the
“how do you think the law has been violated” section.
“He just has that
kinda look about him” is how the Twitter user obtained the evidence.
And the clinic or
doctor this evidence relates to, of course, was reported to be “I mean he
should probably see a therapist.”
On TikTok user
uploaded Shrek memes to the website, claiming that the photos proved “My wife
aborted our baby 4 weeks into her pregnancy without my consulting me.”
Fake reports are
being filed against Greg Abbot and Texas infrastructure as well.
Another user claimed
that they submitted a whopping total of 742 fake reports of Texas Governor Greg
Abbott for receiving an illegal abortion.
“Alright y’all,
we’re gonna mess with Greg Abbott and all of the other idiots that decided to
outlaw abortion in Texas after six weeks,” another TikToker said in a video.
“Wouldn’t it be so
awful if we sent in a bunch of fake tips and crashed the site,” the TikToker
asked, “Like Greg Abbot’s butt stinks, spelled wrong of course because he
deserves zero respect.”
Redditors submitted
reports against the state of Texas, for having highways that allow people to
travel to their procedure.
Turns out fight
Draconian anti-abortion laws can actuallly be kind of fun!
