Quick Glance: Crane Collapse: Worker Dies, Bridge Closed in Fort Lauderdale

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.
