I’m so confused that this *wasn’t* presented as a parody straight off the bat?!
Something fishy about this sob story (1) The photos are stock shots taken in 2012 and 2014, available from Shutterstock and Alamy—links below. (2) There’s no trace of bankers Al and Alexandra Moy anywhere other than the Telegraph 🤔

Delete your menstruation tracking apps NOW.
"Police have been issued guidance on how to search women’s homes for abortion drugs and check their phones for menstrual cycle tracking apps after unexpected pregnancy loss"
"...police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records..."
