Of course not.

This is the tyranny that the right wing wants.

I don't think so.

Not that long ago gambling was illegal in most every state. People would travel to Las Vegas to gamble. Could they get arrested back in their home state?

No.

The title of the OP has little or nothing to do with the article posted.

Third and fourth paragraphs:

The rule would prohibit disclosure of medical records of individuals who seek reproductive health care in a state in which the care is legal to officials or litigants in a home state in which it is not.

Under the proposed rule, the records would be shielded from law enforcement, court subpoenas and in civil lawsuits and family court proceedings.

To me, a better question is what the heck happened to doctor-patient privacy, and doctors being allowed to follow the Hippocratic Oath? Several things, But HIPAA was the biggest blow, essentially codifying state corporate violations of patient privacy in the name of protecting patient privacy.

If that is of no interest, you might ask, "should records regarding those who seek reproductive health care in another state be shielded from requirements to disclose them under court order, while other medical records remain available for subpoena?"

Restoring true doctor-patient confidentiality would sheild such records, but shielding all medical records.

Why would one state want the medical records of someone seeking an abortion in a different state for any reason other than to punish them for doing so?

From your own link:

Again, I'd be happier if no records of out of state treatments were available for government to snoop around in for any reason. If a state ever does decide to try to punish one of its residents for getting an abortion out of state, I'll oppose them being able to get those records.

But the OP says nothing about any punishment states are trying to mete out. Perhaps you have some examples?

So, punishing them for waht they did in a different state.

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that the Texas law that was a part of this whole reversal of Roe v Wade allowed this very thing. In fact unless things have changed, it incentivized punishment of the doctors (allegedly not the female patient though) by allowing any person with knowledge of individuals having been a participant in an abortion in the state of Texas to file a civil claim for $10,000 against the "guilty" party. It doesn't restrict it to family members such as the father, it can be anyone which to me is a little bit crazy, because it allows a bunch of strangers to nose around in the personal and private reproductive lives of others.

Show off hands. How many here have read if a Woman wants an Abortion she should go to a different state? Apparently that also infuriates the Reich Wing.

If the US can prosecute citizens for acts committed abroad, it stands to reason that states can do likewise...

 

[WorldWatcher]

It's not about punishing the woman for having an abortion, most states that have enacted abortion bans totally or down to 6 weeks when the woman may not even know she pregnant exempt the woman having the abortion from prosecution and target the abortion provider.

What it's about is fear and intimidation for (a) people that may assist materially with obtaining an out of state abortion [money, transportation, lodging, etc.], and (b) people that supply counseling and access information about abortions.

See it's not illegal to have an abortion in a state where it is legal that action occurs in the other state. However if a boyfriend, parent, sister, brother, cousin, etc. provides the money in State "A" for travel to State "B", that action occurs in side State "A" which can make such support a crime.

State borders are the very reason why we have the FBI. Abortion laws are back to being state by state, like they were before Roe. The FBI doesn't care. No state has a law that can punish a woman from going to another state for an abortion. That's why Texas would go after the doctors, you know, the ones that didn't perform the abortion.

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, far, far away, this makes sense.
