Isn't that just like... fucking HIPPA? Medical information should be private for extremely good reasons.
Yes, but when you're pregnant everyone knows that HIPPA doesn't count.
You're either with the Baby Murderers or you're with Ken Paxton on this.

(Haha, I meant to type "Provably" but I think "Probably" works better)
It's almost never HIPAA (not HIPPA) but in this case it does seem relevant.
A quick search though and it looks like there are provisions in HIPAA allowing disclosure to law encourage officials for law enforce purposes.
law enforcement loves backdoor loopholes apparently even for those who failed to use the catholic backdoor loophole
It allows health professionals to report suspected child abuse or people who may commit violent crimes.
sucks that the 'wont someone think of the children!" argument is abused as much as it is.
to bad it doesnt work with ~~gun~~ human killing device control
Are you referring to the poophole loophole?
yes! i couldnt think of the name!
such a positive name for cops
Hah! I missed that auto correct, but I'm leaving it.
Most people think HIPAA is a thoroughly defined set of processes that must be followed to keep health information private but its actually a huge list of vague suggestions which are then left up to each business to implement how they are fit, and audit how they see fit.
Every so often a company gets in legal trouble but most don't.
