Rep. Sara Jacobs is reintroducing legislation to limit data collection by companies in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision last June that overruled the constitutional right to an abortion.
Rep. Sara Jacobs talks with ABC's Rachel Scott, May 16, 2023, in Washington, D.C.As oral arguments begin in a federal appeals court case Wednesday weighing access to the widely-used abortion pill in the United States, some lawmakers on Capitol Hill are sounding the alarm about data privacy.
"This is about people having the ability to make decisions about their own lives and their own families and their own health care without government or politicians getting involved," Jacobs told ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott during an interview.Jacobs says the issue, fundamentally, is about privacy, and she is concerned that restricting medication-based abortions would force companies to collect personal data.
"We know that this data can be very vulnerable, whether you're searching online for medication abortion for where an abortion clinic could be," Jacobs said.
