Glenn Youngkin blocks bill passed in Democratic-led state senate to ban search warrants for menstrual data on tracking apps
in several Republican-controlled states, essentially killed the bill through a procedural move in a subcommittee of the Republican-controlled House.
“While the administration understands the importance of individuals’ privacy … this bill would be the very first of its kind that I’m aware of, in Virginia or anywhere, that would set a limit on what search warrants can do,” she said,“Currently any health information or any app information is available via search warrant. And we believe that should continue to be the case.”
Abortion rights advocates contend that with Youngkin’s efforts to push a 15-week abortion ban, with limited exceptions, failing to advance in either legislative chamber, the governor is looking for other avenues. Youngkin has insisted that any abortion restrictions would target doctors, not women who have the procedure.
