Two doctors in Indiana, USA, are fighting to keep post abortion information private:

"It will take 286 years to close gender gaps in legal protection and remove discriminatory laws against women, 140 years for equal representation in positions of power and at least 40 years to achieve gender parity in national parliaments. These numbers are truly alarming and calls for the world’s urgent action."

"The Senate Bill would strengthen privacy protections for electronic patient records by requiring health care providers and other entities to segregate some patient health care information, including data related to reproductive and gender-affirming care. If passed, user access to the information would be limited to people or entities with written authorization from the patient."
