Woman have already been prosecuted for miscarriages in the US (e.g. for taking drugs while pregnant), even before this decision. This was on very dubious legal grounds, but with abortions being outlawed entirely the legal situation is entirely different.
Having a database of woman that used to be pregnant, but are no longer would be an obvious way to try and prosecute suspected illegal abortions. And even if the data mining part would not be legal, once you're accused of murder the prosecution would obviously be able to get all your digital data to try and prove you had an abortion.
