Amid a new wave of restrictive laws and looming Supreme Court battles, one important aspect of America\u2019s abortion wars has gone mostly unnoticed: how some anti-abortion groups are using patients\u2019 private health information to promote their social agenda \u2013 affecting reproductive options for women around the U.S.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to researchers, people seeking reproductive services may be unwittingly sharing sensitive information when they make contact \u2013 in person or online \u2013 with so-called \u201ccrisis pregnancy centers,\u201d many of which are run by anti-abortion organizations. In some states, these centers vastly outnumber abortion and family planning providers. And although these facilities often resemble licensed medical clinics, they aren\u2019t always required to follow health privacy laws that regulate how personal health information is collected and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, people seeking abortions might  hand over data they wrongly assume is protected by law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can help Reveal investigate how anti-abortion groups may be using your most sensitive medical information without your knowledge or consent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever contacted a crisis pregnancy center by phone or online, searched for information, or attended an appointment, we’d like to know what happened next. Did you start seeing ads for adoption or baby-related products in your social media feeds? Were you targeted for outreach via email? Did you receive phone calls? In-person visits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
