The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization upended half a century of precedent and opened the door to a broad class of sensitive health and medical information — far beyond just information directly focused on reproductive health care choices — being subjected to law enforcement surveillance and scrutiny. State laws that criminalize abortion, and deputize private citizens to sue, create incentives for law enforcement and civilians to seek out private information about patients seeking out reproductive health care and the providers who support them.
CDT continues to mobilize advocates, providers, and policymakers to protect reproductive health privacy — calling for companies to reform their data practices and supporting state and federal policymakers to pass laws that protect reproductive data.
