Tip Line For 'Illegal' Abortions In Texas Is Getting Flooded With Shrek Porn

The grand internet tradition of cranking controversial tip lines has continued this week, as the internet has taken to flooding Texas pro-life group Right to Life's "illegal abortion" hotline with Shrek porn, memes, and other noisy nonsense.

Earlier this week, Texas' SB8 law that makes abortions illegal after six weeks went into effect, the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the country. Many have criticized it, as oftentimes women don't even know they're pregnant at six weeks, but one of the most alarming elements of the law is that citizens are incentivized to report those receiving so-called "illegal" abortions to the government—as in, those getting the abortion could be ordered to pay the person reporting them $10,000.

Right to Life set up ProLifeWhistleblower.com for reporting women supposedly aborting babies, but failed to set up any security measures to ensure the tips were legitimate, which put the internet into action. In late August, TikToker Williamshaughn_ showed the site how he sent the group "a bunch of Shrek porn, and encouraged viewers, "You can do it too! Go to that link."

On Reddit, a post on /r/TwoXChromosomes saying "It would be a shame if we all made bogus tips, making the whole system useless" gained over 82,000 points and hit the front page of Reddit on Monday. One Twitter user announced their intent to flood the site with Goatse.

This is hardly the first time a right-wing campaign has faced endless trolling and meme spam. Last year, several right-wing hashtags were taken over by K-pop stans posting unrelated fancams.

Unfortunately for would-be pranksters, the site has been updated to block users from outside of the United States and those using a VPN to block their location status, but it is the internet, after all. Someone will surely find a way to continue spamming Shrek porn for justice.
