Washington has long been a leader in establishing reproductive rights and increasing access to critical reproductive health care - a legacy that Governor Jay Inslee has strengthened throughout his administration. Governor Inslee has supported and signed nation-leading data protection laws and allocated state funding to support organizations like Planned Parenthood and clinics offering reproductive health care.
In April 2023, Governor Inslee signed the nation-leading My Health, My Data Act, which provides widespread privacy protections around collecting, sharing, and selling consumer health data and geofencing data. These protections are fundamental to protecting patients and providers, as anti-choice states continue to use tech data to target abortion care.
In a post-Dobbs era, the Reproductive Freedom Alliance is a critical effort by states to protect abortion access across the country. States can do more to protect reproductive health when they work in solidarity. However long it takes, our states will work to ensure the right to choose is once again protected at the federal level.
