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.”
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.

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.
