Texas sued the Biden administration in an effort to block a new rule that seeks to protect the privacy of women living in states that ban abortion who travel out of state for the procedure.

In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, opens new tab in Lubbock, Texas, the state is asking a federal judge to strike down the rule, which prohibits healthcare providers and insurers from giving state law enforcement authorities information about reproductive healthcare that is legal where it was provided.

President Joe Biden, a Democrat, said in announcing the rule in April that no one should have their medical records “used against them, their doctor, or their loved one just because they sought or received lawful reproductive health care.”

Maybe making them wear some kind of marking on their clothing so that everyone knows who they are, and can keep an eye on them would help?

Obviously /s

And not just women! If you’re not Christian or white you get a marking too!

Wait, that sounds familiar. I’m thinking maybe something similar happened in the 1940s?

They should wear very distinguishing red robes. So as to easily spot them when they are being kidnapped by the woke mob.

Isn’t that just like… fucking HIPPA? Medical information should be private for extremely good reasons.

Yes, but when you’re pregnant everyone knows that HIPPA doesn’t count.

You’re either with the Baby Murderers or you’re with Ken Paxton on this.

It’s almost never HIPAA (not HIPPA) but in this case it does seem relevant.

A quick search though and it looks like there are provisions in HIPAA allowing disclosure to law encourage officials for law enforce purposes.

Most people think HIPAA is a thoroughly defined set of processes that must be followed to keep health information private but its actually a huge list of vague suggestions which are then left up to each business to implement how they are fit, and audit how they see fit.

Every so often a company gets in legal trouble but most don’t.

What the fuck is with republicans and their desire to know the entire history of a woman’s genitals.

It’s because they don’t know enough about their wife’s own genitals. They don’t see those often enough to learn anything lol.

But in all seriousness: Very rape-y vibes from those guys, I have to say. Pretty gross.

Its because women are treated as property just like children are to these men. They only think for themselves and how their family can serve them best, and expect everyone to bend to their will and morals, whether they change daily or not.

America has a huge problem with raising a generation of people who’s focus was greed and who see life as a competition with other people as winners or losers. The concept of considering another perspective is completely foreign.

It’s always been a thing.

Chastity belts, checking if a woman’s hymen is intact before marriage (rapper TI admits he does this to his daughters), female genital mutilation (FGM), etc have been used to control women’s sex lives for hundreds/thousands of years.

I mean, if I’m dating a girl (I’m married now, and not looking to change that) I’d be curious about her pussy resume.

More so to know if they carry any sort of VD. Mutual STD testing should be more common, in my mind. Doesn’t help for drunk hook-ups, but if you’re looking to get into a real relationship, I feel it should be more normalized.

People don’t get tested enough, I’ve been safe, but I should have been in a mutual testing situation in the past. Nothing happened to my dick, but this girl got around - I found out later. Wouldn’t have minded as much if I knew she had a clean bill of health, but that was never ascertained.

To people worrying, I got a vasectomy at 24. The incision site and the rest of my genitals got infected. They tested for STDs first (I was clean) and it was just was a general wound infection that took antibiotics. But the fear, man, the fear.

To be fair its partly due to young women not wanting to wear them either. Ive found most people don’t like them at all and prefer other means of preventing pregnancy or disease spread.

Testing is not about a “pussy resume”; it’s about the state of her health right now, as it should be. You’re not entitled to information about a partner’s past.
