post- #Dobbs legal landscape…opened the door for #lawenforcement to exploit virtually any form of data—license plates, phone records, #geolocation data—to pursue individuals across state lines…more than 1,800 agencies have deployed ALPRs, but at least 4,000 agencies are able to run searches through some agencies in Flock's network…share the data freely with other agencies across the country, with little oversight, restriction, or even standards for accessing data.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · She Got an Abortion. So A Texas Cop Used 83,000 Cameras to Track Her Down.We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Lawmakers who support reproductive rights must recognize that abortion access and mass surveillance are incompatible. The systems built to track stolen cars and issue parking tickets have become tools to enforce the most personal and politically charged laws in the country.

At the same time, the rise of #telehealth #abortion has put “new pressures in the older-school, brick-&-mortar facilities,”said Caitlin Myers, a Middlebury College economics professor who maps brick-&-mortar abortion clinics across the US.

Until a few years ago, doctors could prescribe abortion pills only in person. Those restrictions were lifted during the pandemic, but it was the #Dobbs decision in 2022 that really "accelerated expansions in telehealth,”Myers said.
