Experts Worry Digital Footprints Will Incriminate US Patients Seeking Abortions



The U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of protections for abortion rights has intensified scrutiny of the personal data that technology firms collect. Apple, Facebook and Google typically comply with legal requests for user data.

  1. I'm not advocating anyone do any of that even with the help of a doctor. Abortions aren't fun. And they do cause mental and physical trauma. So suggesting it is okay in any form is crazy. Why I can't understand why having a Abortion is even a conversation. But if we are talking access to, that still exists if there are coat hangers.
