U.S. House panel to investigate companies sharing reproductive data

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. congressional committee has asked data brokers and personal health apps to explain how they handle users' reproductive health data amid concerns states will use the information to track patients seeking abortion where it is illegal.

Democrats on the House of Representatives Oversight Committee said they were concerned that location data, search history and other information on mobile phones could create "digital bread crumbs" that reveal interest in an abortion.

"The collection of sensitive data could pose serious threats to those seeking reproductive care," the lawmakers wrote on Friday.

Democrats have scrambled to shore up abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court last month eliminated the constitutional right to abortion. Several Republican-led states already have banned abortion and others are expected to do so soon.

1. I can't decide whether to have an abortion this weekend...

or go to the movies.

Might as well get this obfuscation ball rolling. Until DeSantis, Abbot, or someone like them cracks down on Internet chatter.
