Hi John, Seems like everywhere we look these days, some anti-abortion creep is TRACKING PEOPLE’S PERIODS. Now we have learned there’s a whole creepy foundation doing it with a sketchy AF period tracking app of their own. Just who and what’s behind their app is terrifying AF and needs to be called out NOW.  The Femm App claims to be a “comprehensive women's health program” to help users “achieve [their] health and reproductive goals” Sounds legit, right? Not. Even. A. Little. This app is a project of the Femm Foundation. A report in The Guardian revealed that over the last three years, a Catholic charity with a history of donating to anti-choice campaigns, has given the Femm Foundation nearly $1.8 million dollars to develop this app. On its face, the app seems like your standard ovulation/period tracker that will give you medically accurate information. It even claims right on their website that “FEMM Family Planning provides instruction for achieving and avoiding pregnancy.” Huh. In the “avoiding pregnancy” department, that’s solid nope. If you poke around the app’s “Get Help” section, there is very little information about “avoiding pregnancy.” In fact, the only pregnancy prevention method even mentioned is to “avoid genital contact during your fertile window.” That’s. It. Nothing about hormonal birth control or even condoms. Any ovulation/period tracker app that WILLFULLY OMITS accurate medical info about the full range of pregnancy and STI prevention options is dangerous! And it gets worse. If you click on the “Our Blog” button in the app, it takes you to the Femm website. There you will find lists of their educators and researchers, some who have publicly expressed anti-abortion or anti hormonal birth control views. And a lead researcher for Femm isn’t even licensed to practice medicine in the United States! AND WANNA GET REALLY MAD? Fake Clinics ARE RECEIVING YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO USE THIS APP TO “EDUCATE PEOPLE” Yep. Femm app has also been a prominent part of a fake clinic chain called the Obria Group’s proposal for Title X funds. Obria plans to use the Femm app for its “birth control education sessions” at 21 clinic locations in California, where they have begun receiving Title X Funds this year. Let’s make sure people looking for a comprehensive period tracking app know EXACTLY what the Femm app is all about: Click here for 5 quick steps to writing a review on their App Store page! Thanks for taking a stand with us against the #FemmAppTrap!  xox, Lizz |
