(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The White House joined abortion activists in pushing the narrative that women should be “really careful” when they use apps on their phones that track their menstrual cycles because that could be used against them if they want to kill their unborn babies, according to CNN.
Jen Klein, co-chair and executive director of the White House Gender Policy Council, told reporters that she wouldn’t advise women to stop using those apps, but she thinks it is important to be aware.
“I wouldn’t say we’re directing people (to stop using the apps), but I think people should be really careful about that,” she said.
The Department of Health and Human Services publicized instructions on how to delete apps from the phones, Klein said.
Joe Biden also talked about the topic on the same day he was signing an executive order that would allow more abortions, asking the chair of the Federal Trade Commission to protect the privacy of consumers when they seek information about “reproductive health care services,” CNN reported.
However, unlike Klein and Biden, who started peddling their menstrual fear-mongering this month, Vice President Kamala Harris was promoting this part of the leftist agenda even before Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Harris warned about how conservatives will be tracking women’s data to make them subjects of investigations.
“I want to talk to these experts about their concern and the level of their concern about that very issue,” she said, “including, for example, the vulnerability of women who are using menstrual tracking apps.”

In Congress, three Democrats launched an investigation into period-tracking apps, according to the Washington Examiner.
Reps. Carolyn Maloney, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Sara Jacobs wanted assurances that such apps couldn’t divulge personal information into unwanted hands, and that they wouldn’t be used to target women who are seeking abortions.
However, the leading menstrual cycle tracking apps, Flo and Clue, contradicted the narrative.
Flo representatives said that the private information of women is not going to be used because of the “anonymous mode” option that they announced last week.
Clue said the data of women who use their app is even more secure because the company that created the app is located in Europe, which has privacy laws that are stricter than American ones.
Ironically, leftists seem to have no problems mining personal data and social media histories when it comes to enforcing draconian measures like vaccine mandates or stripping away privacy rights for law-abiding gun owners.
