Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Monday shrugged off condemnation from Republicans over the guidance she’s offered to her millions of social media followers in recent days, explaining how to procure abortion pills and protect their digital privacy in the event that they need abortion care.

Former Washington Examiner reporter John Gage, who praised the U.S. Supreme Court ruling which overturned Roe v. Wade and stripped the right to abortion care from millions of Americans last week, posted on his Twitter account Monday that the New York Democrat was sharing information “about how people can skirt abortion bans.”

Gage’s post led several abortion rights supporters to thank him for the “signal boost,” while Ocasio-Cortez simply replied, “Yeah, and…?”

“Republicans are mad because I am sharing this information,” she added in a later tweet. “Too bad! Freedom of choice is an inalienable right. Your bodily autonomy belongs to you.”
