A Democratic congresswoman unveiled a bill Thursday that would curb the collection of personal reproductive health data that could be used to target or arrest people if abortions are criminalized.
Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA) announced the My Body, My Data Act, which aims to create a national standard regarding access to such information by apps and websites as well as prevent the misuse or disclosure of this data. It would be enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.
