  1. There was a time when me and my friends thought of the US as the promised land….nowadays I watch this once great Country sliding into the abyss…beyond what I ever imagined!!

    1. I live here and I can say unequivocally this place is sliding into the abyss. All empire’s fail, 245 years, it’s been a good run.

  2. You know you can still use a calendar to track your period, right? I never heard of this terrible idea of a “period tracker” until the abomination that is this year’s supreme court. That’s so creepy! I don’t even do banking on my phone.

  3. You can always use a calander or diary to track it . Are the GOP congresswoman going to publish/ submit their own menstrual cycles to set a good example ?

  4. We are losing our personal data. , lives , privacy and sense of self. We are living in Orwelian times people , corporations as well as our own corrupt government has sold our fredoms and protective rights , along time ago.

  5. If the “Patriots” are lauding a police state as freedom, they can have their “freedom” just leave the rest of us alone.

  6. I’m doing what I can to hose up the feds’ tracking of online searches for “abortion pill” and such by following all the links that show up in online searches. I’m a man. Heh.

  7. all men should download these apps and put in crazy info. that’d be helpful for the algorithms.

  8. Maybe it’s because I grew up when the internet was a brand new thing, but people, don’t put your personal data online. It will never be secure. Almost every EULA openly states they will share and sell your data to the highest bidder. If you value your privacy, keep your sensitive date to yourself.

    1. Keeping your information private has been Impossible for years now…
      The app you’re using to view this story is collecting your data Right Now.

  9. I propose an unconventional approach to the issue. Everyone install the app, including older women as well as men. Flood the system with fake data, let’s see what happens

  10. So dump the apps! Stop putting your personal info on apps, the internet or any form of social media!!! Use a calendar to track your fertility….like they did in the old days….sheesh.

    1. Those can also be requested from you for court, and it isn’t just that data. It is if you googled any info or typed the word abortion, or fertility, or period. Or simply a change in routine in your online activity. Good luck living in 2022 without the internet or computers.

  11. At this rate, SEX will be illegal unless you are married, intend to have a baby, and do it missionary style.

  12. Why on Earth do you need to upload the period calender to the internet? The “app” can store it locally and do calculations and predictions upon it just as well. This issue is bigger than abortion. Big corporations want to make us dependent upon online services, that can be policed or shut down.

  13. 1:42 reach out to company to remove historical data….
    time to return to the diaries & calendars where your info stays WITH YOU
    a simple search for anything (even anonymously) seems to always find you when spam emails appear?
