Biden Expands Protections for Medical Information of Women Seeking Abortions
The Biden administration announced a new regulation Tuesday to further protect the medical privacy of women who have legally obtained an abortion, such as preventing its use in investigations in other states.

The regulation should protect in particular women living in states where abortion is now illegal and who have traveled to a state where it is not, to have an abortion.
Since the US Supreme Court overturned federal abortion protections in 2022, about two dozen states have banned or restricted access to abortion.
With the November presidential election a few months away, abortion has emerged as a central issue in the campaign.
Since the Supreme Court's decision, "women are being forced to travel hundreds of miles" to have an abortion and "doctors and nurses are being threatened with jail time for providing the very care they were trained to provide," Biden adviser Jennifer Klein denounced on Tuesday.
But even in states where abortion is legal, women may hesitate to have one, "for fear that their information will be tracked and shared with state agencies, law enforcement, or others," Melanie Fontes Rainer lamented.
The new rules protect any "lawful reproductive health care" act, she detailed, such as taking a pregnancy test.
