Reproductive Rights Protections
As the Reproductive Rights landscaping is perpetually changing, it’s imperative that people know their rights and protections.
“On April 22, 2024, the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued the HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy Final Rule.”
This rule ensures that folks seeking legal healthcare (in their state or elsewhere) are protected from any providers sharing this healthcare information, particularly to law enforcement.
“The HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy protects trust between individuals and health care providers by ensuring that protected health information cannot be used or disclosed to investigate or impose liability on someone for the mere act of seeking, obtaining, providing, or facilitating legal reproductive health care.”
