The bill would create a comprehensive national database tracking detailed personal health information about women who obtain abortions, including age, race, marital status, and pregnancy history. While advocates say better data improves public health research, privacy advocates worry about how this information could be used. In states that refuse to comply, women could also lose access to Medicaid-funded family planning services.
