Delete any period tracking apps on your phone now.

Reevaluate your health tracking apps.

Reevaluate your social media presence if you live in a Red state.

Research security measures you can take to protect yourself online. (VPN's, secure email like proton mail...)

Stay safe and fight wisely.

Anything that can help waylay these a'holes attempts to track you, your movements and conversations will be targeted too. Find a library or other source for computer access for your searches for anything related to "choice" or birth control. Even with VPN, I would not use my own computer for this because the vigilante crew will probably be enabled in ways to access your search history if they bring a suit or action against you. And, obviously, law enforcement can.

And quite a few on my own property.

Again, why would anyone care?

$10,000 bounty on women they suspect are getting abortions, remember?

Your privacy will be invaded by greedy misogynistic assholes whether you're pregnant or not. and harassment will just be part of the game.

Why give them anything to go on?

And it's not just yourself you need to worry about, but any friends of yours that might be pregnant and close by to you..."Ma'am, by your own electronic records it shows you had contact with such and such before she had an abortion..."

I doubt many here are going to give up their iPhones, and they track people everywhere, whether or not they have health apps installed.

Every single thing you do online, no matter how apparently unconnected to pregnancy, feeds into the big data algorithms which soon will be turned into a tool of the totalitarian state.
