The executive order was signed by President Joe Biden. The Supreme Court gave states more power to regulate abortion access after they overturned the constitutional right to an abortion.
President Biden said that this was not a decision driven by the constitution. Today's Supreme Court majority is playing fast and loose with the facts.
President Biden talked about what the executive order would do on a live stream. The order aims to protect access to reproductive health care services which include contraception and abortion, protect patient privacy, promote the safety and security of patients, and coordinate the implementation of Federal efforts to protect reproductive rights and access to health care.
President Biden has made it clear that there is little he can do as his options to expand abortion access are limited. He asked people who were upset with the reversal of the decision to vote.
When you read the decision the court has made it clear, it will not protect the rights of women. The court wants the women of America to return the rights they took away.
Data brokers that sell private information are being asked to stop by the Federal Trade Commission. A group of senators introduced a bill last month that would ban the sale of health and location data of Americans. According to CNN, three U.S Representatives are asking for information from five health- tracking app companies and five data broker companies about how they collect, retain and sell personal health data.
Three House lawmakers, including the chair and member of the House Oversight Committee, have asked health- tracking app companies for documents regarding sexual health.
The collection of sensitive data could pose serious threats to those seeking reproductive care as well as to providers of such care, not only by facilitating intrusive government surveillance, but also by putting people at risk of harassment, intimidation, and even violence.
People are concerned about their data being used to prosecute women who have sought abortions. The executive order hopes to make people feel better.
