Why in the fuck would the government need this information?
When they start prosecuting women for miscarriages and suspected abortions under Trump's national abortion ban.
That's not a need, that's a want. The government doesn't get to do whatever they want.
In dumbfuckistan they do.
dystopian hellscape where government has an algorithm to check whether your period has come in a given month, and if you've missed more than a few weeks, you'll be listed as pregnant. And then if you're not pregnant anymore for any reason other than giving birth, then you'll be prosecuted for having an abortion.
To prosecute criminals. Like women not following a shit take like "Your body, my choice". Or terrorists. With wombs? Idk.
This shit is just fucked up.
China had a database that stored fertility information including information like in the article leak a few years back too. Worse cause it leaked/got hacked. Creepy AF
