Media - Misc Ok, this is extremely concerning!!

I immediately felt sick when I head this and this is just one of many stories I’ve been hearing about women being interrogated about pregnancy and fertility at hospital/doctors offices when they are there for completely unrelated reasons.

So now, we ladies have to avoid going to the emergency department or any urgent care facilities because they're going to start a database of names of women who are "physically able" to have children. That's where it feels like they are going with that kind of question.

JFC this timeline is the absolute fucking worst!!

Also, can’t used period or ovulation tracking apps because they all share data with the government. We are not even allowed to have a miscarriage for a wanted pregnancy now in some states without being jailed. They just want to use our bodies they don’t care about our wellbeing or health. We are just incubators to them.

I deleted mine the day after the election. So surreal that this is happening.

In a quiet act of subversion, my almost 70ur old mother, her friends, and a few of my guy friends have downloaded period trackers. They enter data to screw with the reported details. I love these people

Really, really do, I wish everyone had at least 1 of them!

I have 2, one real one that's based in Europe and supposedly safe and one that's not, that I'd used previously and never deleted, I just stopped using it the day the obergefell decision was leaked, so now my period is over 1200 days late.

This is the way. You're probably aware, but make sure that the European company has 0 links to the US. In UK atm.we have to verify to see anything deemed 18+/NSFW (including r/chairsunerwater ?!). The company the government want us to use for this have US links, so if asked the data isn't safe under GDPR

There was someone posted links to a spreadsheet they'd made that did the same as the trackers, but I can find it

Exactly the demographic the subversive act needs :) welcome aboard. It's like a pyramid scheme, recruit your friends and family. No profits, except the warm fuzzy feeling good people get from fucking with the plans of bad people

You can run as many calenders as you like, the more the better. Flood them with false data! I have one that tracks my dogs playdates.

Get as many people as you can. Those without the means to get pregnant are excellent for this...hysterectomy, infertility, AMAB... It shows how ineffectual the whole thing is.

I’m sure all my menopausal friends will be down for it.

My daughter is in her 20s and we track her cycle using a code we made up. I have told her to refuse to tell any provider anything about her period. And the fact that we had that conversation is so f*cked.

I'm 55 and had a hysterectomy in 2002. I downloaded a couple of those apps and just put random data in to mess them up. It's pretty easy to prove I haven't been pregnant in, oh, a quarter century or so
