Unsolicited nudes detected and deleted by AI
Software that can detect and delete unsolicited penis pictures sent via private messages on Twitter is being developed by researchers in Seattle. The project was started after developer Kelsey Bressler was sent an unsolicited nude photo by a man. She is now helping a friend refine an artificial intelligence system that can detect the unwanted penis pictures and delete them before they are ever seen.
She said social networks could do more to protect users from cyber-flashing. "When you receive a photo unsolicited it feels disrespectful and violating," Ms Bressler told the BBC. "It's the virtual equivalent of flashing someone in the street. You're not giving them a chance to consent, you are forcing the image on them, and that is never OK."
To test and train the artificial intelligence system, Ms Bressler and her team set up a Twitter inbox where men were invited to "send nudes for science". So many volunteered their nude photos that the team has had to close the inbox.

An abortion is an act that directly harms the child in a physical way.
A woman has two opportunities to exercise her bodily autonomy: first when consenting to or refusing sexual contact, and second between the first two missed periods. At some point, not directly harming the child in a physical way outweighs her bodily autonomy. This point happens somewhere between 8 weeks, when it looks more like a child than like a well-formed teratoma, and 25 weeks, when the brain shows organized waves. After 25 weeks, the child is no longer clinically brain dead, and a caesarean delivery has less chance of harming the two than an abortion.
I doubt the courts will reverse abuse of war powers, obscenity, and the commerce clause, as long as the TV news media on both sides of the aisle prevent someone who could bring about real change from gaining national name recognition.

Even if you think that the unborn have human rights, there is no human right to use or borrow someone else's organs, even to keep yourself alive. Therefore, women can terminate the pregnancy whenever they please, because the fetus has no right to be there. We can't force people to donate blood, organs, or anything else, so why would anyone think that government thugs should have the power to force women to remain pregnant? There is zero precedent for such a right.
And no, it doesn't matter why the woman became pregnant. Again, the only consideration is whether or not people have a human right to use other people's organs. They don't, so terminating the pregnancy is simple body autonomy. Forced birthers are trying to invent rights that do not exist in any other situation.
As long as she can terminate the pregnancy.
Yes, it will be hard to overturn these, but it's still important to take action against further rights violations.

Here, where there are no abortion laws, there are still limits when you can't find a Dr to do an abortion, not to mention hospital and clinic guidelines.
