Three Democratic members in Congress submits a bill to reduce companies’ ability to increase reproductive health data for people-a procedure, they say, this is necessary to protect women from persecution in the post-RROE V Wade era.
California and Senator Mazi Herono from Hawaii and Senator Ron and Eden from Oregon on Wednesday will A physical file, my data is made in both the US House of Representatives and the Senate. The draft law aims to prevent companies from collecting information, use or disclosing it from the reproductive health of a person Unless these data is necessary to provide a required service. This ruling applies to information about pregnancy, menstruation, miscarriage, contraceptive means and other issues related to reproductive health.
“Young people live our lives online, right? It includes tracking our periods, but it also includes our phones that follow our site and use Google to think about your medical care or how to get a miscarriage for yourself or a friend, or ask for abortion pills, or Uber to travel to the abortion clinic,” said Jacobs. “All these things are tracked online, and none of them are now protected.”
Law enforcement officials have already tried to use Persons’ data paths to determine Those looking for miscarriage. In 2022, in the year in which the United States Supreme Court canceled, Nebraska brought a series of criminal charges and misdemeanors against a teenager and her mother regarding the abortion of the teenager. The fees depend on Facebook chatsWhich turned the social media giant. (Each of the teenager and her mother Admit He was sentenced to a time prisoner behind bars.

The post -ROE scene also creates more online monitoring opportunities. In recent years, the orders of abortion pills have increased online, as tens of thousands of Americans have used online services to get their “self -management” “self -management” pills.
A number of women also faced criminal charges about miscarriage, which led to the leadership of abortion rights to worry that women who suffer from Google, such as “how to obtain abortion”, and then can find themselves in law enforcement intersections.
“He does not deal with everything in terms of data brokers, but he puts women in a much stronger position to protect their rights,” said Widen on my body. “Reproductive rights are the priority of the final privacy, because the primary right of a woman to control her body and her health care is as much as she gets.”
A previous version of the draft law was presented in 2023. Given that Republicans control Congress, the bill is unlikely to pass.
“I have many Republican colleagues who say they are interested in the privacy of data. We are working together on the privacy of data in every other field, but when it comes to anything related to abortion, they refuse to do so,” said Jacobs. “This is also the third oldest conference in history, and I will be honest, many of my colleagues do not understand how to track applications or searches for the website or even website data.”
Jacobs says It uses tracking the period run by its headquarters in Europe is subject to the regulation of the protection of the general data of the European Union, and it is a set of strict regulations that govern how to obtain and deal with data on the Internet.
While the United States does not have similar regulations at the federal level, Washington in 2023 has become the first in the country to create a state version of My health, the verb of my data. This law covers healthy data that is not protected in another way under the Law on the ability to transfer information and accountability in the United States (HIPAA) – including information about reproductive health care services – and companies require that their customers be given more disclosure of privacy and search for their mandate before selling their data. It also gives Washington residents the ability to demand these companies to delete their personal information.
Jacobs advises people to use the applications stationed in the states that have a degree of protection for reproductive health data.
She added: “If you live in a state that really is taking abortion and following people, you should be careful about what you put on the Internet.”
