Amicus brief opposing Tennessee’s lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to protect HIPAA and reproductive health privacy.

NNAF signed an amicus brief led by the National Partnership for Women and Families.

This brief opposes a case brought by Tennessee and fourteen other states that challenges the Biden administration’s HIPAA Privacy Rule, which offers guidance and protection against sharing reproductive health information with law enforcement.

The brief highlights the need to protect personal reproductive health information. With the increased risk of criminalization for abortion seekers and providers, this protection is more crucial than ever.
