Chuck Darwin<p>Ken Paxton thinks your business is his business</p><p>Look at Texas, where state Attorney General <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ken" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ken</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Paxton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paxton</span></a> just sued the Biden administration <br>💥to block a new rule that protects the medical records of people who cross state lines to obtain abortions. </p><p>As Health and Human Services Secretary <a href="https://c.im/tags/Xavier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xavier</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Becerra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Becerra</span></a> explained when announcing the rule, <br>“Many Americans are scared their private medical information will be shared, misused, and disclosed without permission ... ✅ the Biden-Harris Administration is providing stronger protections to people seeking lawful reproductive health care regardless of whether the care is in their home state or if they must cross state lines to get it.”</p><p>Texas’s lawsuit alleges that the rule interferes with its ability to enforce its own laws on reproductive health. </p><p>Of course, the rule does no such thing. -- Texas remains fully able to enforce its extreme abortion ban within its borders. </p><p>❇️ All the rule does is 👍prevent Texas from reaching into other states to demand patient records when people obtain reproductive health care that is legal in that state. </p><p>⚠️Texas Republicans are also mad that the rule requires reproductive health care to be “interpreted broadly and inclusive of all types of health care related to an individual’s reproductive system” <br>— which means 👍it could also protect the records of people seeking gender-affirming care outside the state.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.publicnotice.co/p/texas-medical-records-abortion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">publicnotice.co/p/texas-medica</span><span class="invisible">l-records-abortion</span></a></p>
