Biden administration tightens rules for obtaining medical records related to abortion
apnews.com/article/abortion-medical-records-privacy-hipaa-biden-07d3419f3d44050af71de3b3536e3938
Quick Glance: Biden administration strengthens rules on obtaining medical records for abortion
- Under the new regulation by the Biden administration, medical records of women will be shielded from criminal investigations if they cross state lines to seek a legal abortion.
- The regulation aims to protect women in states where abortion is illegal from prosecution and is expected to face legal challenges from anti-abortion advocates and criticism from abortion-rights advocates.
- The protection also extends to women seeking fertility, contraception, or miscarriage care, according to the nation’s top health official Xavier Becerra.
- However, the regulation does not protect women from criminal investigations when ordering abortion pills online and does not mandate law enforcement officials to obtain a warrant for medical records of patients.

apnews.com/article/seattle-hospital-texas-records-paxton-e1d308835657c40e2e176d7f11d7f749
Quick Glance: Seattle Children’s to Exit Texas Due to Gender-Affirming Care
- Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.
- Last year, Attorney General Ken Paxton attempted to compel Seattle Children’s to turn over information about gender-affirming care that Texas patients may have received at the facility. The hospital sued Paxton, stating that the office doesn’t have jurisdiction over patient records in Washington.
- Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.
- Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.
