Comment on I built a self-hosted period tracker because I couldn't find one worth using

A lot of cycle trackers right now sell that data and there is some concern it could be used to find women who have miscarried and charge them with a crime.

How can that even be a thing? Miscarriages happen all the time

Well a miscarriage is basically an abortion and an abortion is basically a murder.
/s, to be clear, but some people will say that sincerely and in some parts of the world they get to write the law.

Yeah they have tried to prosecute women for miscarriages. Basically saying women cause them on purpose.

The right wing conservatives often have these weird paradoxical beliefs. Like Mexicans are lazy but also stealing everyone’s jobs.
They believe women are designed to be baby incubators and are natural caregivers, but we are also naturally baby killers and have to be watched and kept from killing all the babies.
It’s ridiculous.
