Okay that’s utter horse shit.

We have laws in place for medical privacy. It’s called HIPPA.

They really got yall scared of a nonexistent boogey man and it’s just getting worse and worse because yall saw Biden completely bomb on the debate and Trump is likely to win.

Come back to reality.

Nah it's for real. They're down like 20% OBGYNs in Idaho since the abortion ban. Would you want to face the choice of 2 to 5 for doing your job or letting someone die in your care?

While that’s unfortunate that does not mean everybody has lost medical privacy rights.

When Roe v Wade was overturned it didn’t end medical privacy.

There's proposals to explicitly have states track pregnant women and monitor their status.So while HIPAA exists for now, I wouldn't act like it's untouchable

Healthcare facilities and the government have always been able to do this. Even under Roe v Wade. This isn’t new and it doesn’t violate HIPPA.

The good thing is citizens can vote for more protections. It doesn’t have to be up to the federal government, nor should it.

As a matter of fact, for the most part the states have control over their own health departments. If you see something you don’t like, then vote. Or move to a state that you’d rather live in.
