My understanding is that a court order is not an immediate, absolute command with zero recourse or ability to have one's lawyers respond? Surely Facebook could have done something, even if it wasn't ultimately successful?
There are many things that might have been done; if the warrant should not have been served, the best person to challenge it would probably be the defendant (or their counsel). They would likely challenge the admissibility of the evidence. I am not sure what grounds Facebook would have to challenge this warrant, unless it would be improper for them to provide private communications for some reason.
I fully believe abortion should be reasonably legal, and if it were more accessible it may have prevented a lot of the tragedy of this case. But given the details in this article, it seems like this case would be criminal even in that hypothetical world.
The keyword here is “reasonably”. What I hate the most is “lifestyle abortion” when a woman says she’s not ready for a baby, but at the same time treats sex like a cheap entertainment, fucking her way through dozens of guys.
Sex is cheap entertainment, and should be. It feels good, it's your body, why should anyone have any judgements about how you use it. Let me fuck the men and women and non binary pals I want, it doesn't affect you.
One should be able to have sex separate from concerns about having to carry a fetus to term.
