Lawmakers proposed Senate Bill 852 to the General Assembly in the 2023 legislative session, which calls for the prohibition of law enforcement to access personal menstrual cycle data when conducting search warrants.
...
State Senator Barbara Favola (D-31st District) introduced the bill over concerns about personal privacy, following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. Favola said apps used to store menstrual data are not covered by HIPAA, the federal privacy law protecting health information, which is another reason she said she proposed the bill.
"So many states have passed very restrictive bans on abortion and many women are concerned and they are asking lawmakers, --myself, and others -- to take steps to protect their privacy," said Favola.
The bill fell through in a House subcommittee after Governor Glenn Youngkin pushed back on the proposed changes.
We asked Youngkin's office why he opposed this bill. A spokeswoman for the governor sent 13News Now this statement:
“Democrats are deliberately distorting the problems with this bill to distract Virginians from the fact that they chose to stand with fentanyl dealers over victims' families."
Why fentanyl has any bearing on this issue is something that Younkin's spokesweasel wouldn't address.
I can't see why the cops would need to look at a woman's menstrual data unless they're trying to see if they can lock her up for maybe having a miscarriage or an abortion.
It's all about intrusion. It's all about controlling women.
Politically, abortion was a loser for Republicans in the last election. Which is why they're doubling down on that.
I’m seriously thinking of downloading an app and putting fake info in it. I wonder if a bunch of people did that it would mess them up? 🤔

There are no lengths or bounds to which these deluded fascists will not go to control your body and mind.

You can call me oldfashioned. I don't think the cops have any business with this information. I can't believe we are even talking about this. These GOP have lost their minds.
