alt Hacker NewsPeople in power want the information to identify a narrower set of people who may have been pregnant and then did not have a child and so may have had an abortion.
And facebook doesn't care about people's rights when those people in power are able to block Facebook from acquiring some new startup they want to buy, so facebook is willing to share the information.

And what will people in power do with this information?
Do they actually want that or just want to be elected and say things that rhyme with your fears?
Are we assuming the lack of a recorded period is the criteria? If yes, what if you just forgot to add it that month, or have hormonal issues, or abnormal BMI?
Well, it is a crime. This isn't about "reproductive rights" then, at least not in all but the most euphemistic sense. Abortion is not a right.
