Need help from the computer software engineers on DU.

So, now that we're entering the era where women are going to be allowed to die from failed pregnancies, I propose we set up a site that will bring this reality home to Americans, in a way that might connect with them. Remember the AIDs quilt? Sure you do. Each block on the quilt stood for eight people who died because of AIDS, with the completed blanket consisting of almost 6000 total blocks. That's 6000 x 8 = 48,000 lives. It was a Memorial quilt. I suggest we construct one online, starting now, for victims of the anti-abortion legislation, which has gone too far, forcing women to die an agonizing death that is totally preventable in these times..

Project Remember their Names.

Again, there was roughly eight lives represented per block on the AIDs Memorial blanket, with almost 6000 total blocks.

So, we'll pare this down, since we're in early days of this devastating legislation that will affect women. I propose that the software should prepare for 50 blocks, representing the 50 states. And as each state loses one of us due to this Draconian rule, fill in a square that people can click on so that we can learn more of the wonderful life, whose life was lost because right-wing men are okay with killing us off, one by one.

And then let's see which state is the first to fill up a block, which will represent the loss of 8 victims of Right-wing religious-pushed legislation.

1. Be careful

This crosses into both PII and into HIPAA concerns.

2. I believe it was the survivor of the victims who created the squares.

At a minimum, we can take names and the day they died, straight out of the newspapers. If their loved ones want to add to their stories, the software could provide a section that can be linked to.

I'm just throwing that out. Early days.

9. Unless medical

professionals are providing the info, HIPAA has nothing to do with this.

10. Not true

It also governs insurance and other billing aspects as well. But the important thing, is that if you get this information from other sources (who got it even accidentally or coercively such as a law enforcement search) from a HIPAA source, it still remains HIPAA. The only source you can obtain this from legally is from the person directly, or from someone with an appropriate power of attorney. And you have to document this with releases. So, yes.

3. A visual, personal, perhaps graphic reminder--something like this needs to exist.

The dead need us to speak for them. And so much of women's history has been forgotten, because of the shame imposed on women regarding their bodies.

5. Women have truly suffered at the hands of man.

I was reading up on the history in Korea last night, where it pertained to women. Women became less than human because of Confuscianism. which in my opinion, was a religion disguised as a philosophy. Elements of the patriarchal society still exist today, though Korea is taking well to foreign influences, such as they did with the Me Too movement.

But what the Japanese and American soldiers did to the comfort women in Korea during WWII, and how Korea was so ashamed of them that they never gave them a safe place back into society, it just astounds me how quickly these things can become so barbaric.

4. Numbers

First names & the state usable, but probably not anything else:

6. Good information.

7. A fabulous idea!

Maybe this will reach the 53% of white women who voted for the maga nazi by putting the names and faces of the white women along with the women of color who will now die needless deaths because dead fetuses are now more valuable than women's lives. Maybe if these white women see their own kind dying they'll finally wake up and realize that the white male patriarchy they voted for is killing them..
