If these fuckers get their way, I will, at some point, start seeing murder cases where the perpetrator is a woman and default to thinking that the charges are bullshit because of this.

My country has free healthcare. Doctors do not get any info unless you give them, because you keep the files.

The IT department would never be responsible for handing over said data. Backing it up, making sure it was recoverable, sure. But IT would have no actions with such.

I assume it would be the HR department or the administrators

"But it was the republican-appointed SCOTUS judges who rammed their agenda through, because you people let trump through the door in 2016, you allowed this to happen and seem intent on letting it happen over and over again."

Land of the thief, home of the slave.

I thought you meant:

Doctor: “when was your last period?”

Me: “a few weeks ago.”

Doctor: “date?”

Me: yes

Doctor: great I’ll pick you up at 8

I hope you don't live in an abortion ban state, because that very well could come back to bite you

Hey if you're on hormonal birth control I think you can just tell them you use the method that gets rid of periods (not taking the placebo week and just continuing with the hormone pills, this is safe if you also just don't want to have periods link)

I have an iud and besides a short time after having one removed to get pregnant with my daughter haven't had my period in uh, 9 years? I just tell them I don't have a period and haven't in years and they accept that readily

Yeah, the post said it right at the end. America.

Fun fact: the famous bald eagle freedom screech as we know it from the movies is not from an eagle, it's the scream of a red-tailed hawk.

They actually sound like deranged seagulls. I think that sound is probably more on the nose for what is going on in the US.

I'm sure you get it, but this is kinda for whoever is out of the loop on this.

Yeah, right now the meta for pro-choice women is to delete and remove all period tracking apps under the assumption the apps will snitch directly to the government on you, so that, say, Texas lawmakers will know if your period is overdue, and thus you are expected to be possibly pregnant. Then, if that data leads them to certain conclusions, they assume an abortion has happened, and they want that fully criminalized.

It is not unlikely to expect an incarceration in order to "protect the life of the baby", even if you have made no move toward abortion, but once the tracker app and its data tell the patriarchy that you might be pregnant, all bets are off.

Even worse is that sometimes a woman's period is just irregular, or even disappears for a time, especially if she's on some serious athletics and a tight diet, so there's a lot of room for false positive "pregnant" results with possible felony charges on the line, over the fucking tracker app on your phone.

The same situation drives the daughter's actions, doctors will often snitch, and the problem of anti-choice doctors getting you incarcerated because they think you might be pregnant is well known.

Basically this information is now expected to be used to monitor for pregnancy, possibly by law enforcement directly, and it becomes very compromising, especially for a teen girl who already lacks the rights she needs to take herself away from unwanted situations and states. She also likely wants to normalize this behavior for herself, so that others wanting to hide pregnancy do not set off "red flags" when they try to maintain privacy.
