If you consider that anti-abortion groups have gone to the extreme effort of creating fake abortion clinics in order to ensnare unwitting women to divulge information about pregnancies they intend to terminate, then how is it "fear mongering nonsense" that the information in these fertility apps might be used for similar purposes?
I could reasonably see those same groups creating their own app or buying an existing app and feeding the information to law enforcement that's willing to work with them.

Their websites literally call themselves "[Location] Women's Clinic" and their tag line is something along the lines of "Take control. Start with a free abortion consultation today."
- waynesonfire 4y agoYeah, I guess you're right. Really pray on the vulnerable don't they. I wonder if they have to mention that they're not a medical practice during in-take.
- fknorangesite 4y ago> Really pray on the vulnerable don't they. Yup. Even in cases where they don't use "clinic" specifically, it's still something deliberately misleading. I used to live near a "Pregnancy Crisis Center" that was styled very much to look like a walk-in clinic; it was no such thing.
