Nineteen Republican attorneys general are asking the Biden administration to withdraw a proposed change to medical privacy laws that would ban doctors from reporting suspected abortions to law enforcement. The attorneys general argue the change would interfere with states’ authority to enforce their own abortion laws. They claim the administration is pushing a false narrative that states are treating pregnant women as criminals. The proposed rule would prevent states from investigating people who help others obtain abortions. The Republican attorneys general threaten to sue the administration if it moves forward with the proposed HIPAA rule change.

    The letter claims that the Biden administration is pushing “a false narrative that States are seeking to treat pregnant women as criminals or punish medical personnel who provide lifesaving care.”

    From the same group of people who will award you money for calling the cops on someone looking to get an abortion… nice.
