Two Years Post-Dobbs: A Commercial Surveillance Landscape That is Confusing, Complicated, and Harmful to Abortion Seekers
Two years ago, the Supreme Court rescinded the constitutional right to an abortion in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. Reproductive privacy is an issue that encompasses bodily autonomy, decisional privacy, and—in an increasingly surveilled state in the digital age—data privacy. EPIC works to enshrine and protect a person’s right to choose abortion health care, advocates for limits on harmful consumer profiling that could reveal pregnancy status and other health conditions, and promotes strong data minimization rules that would prevent personal information related to or revealing reproductive health care from being accessed by law enforcement.
