Texas sued the Biden administration in an effort to block a new rule that seeks to protect the privacy of women living in states that ban abortion who travel out of state for the procedure.

In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, opens new tab in Lubbock, Texas, the state is asking a federal judge to strike down the rule, which prohibits healthcare providers and insurers from giving state law enforcement authorities information about reproductive healthcare that is legal where it was provided.

President Joe Biden, a Democrat, said in announcing the rule in April that no one should have their medical records “used against them, their doctor, or their loved one just because they sought or received lawful reproductive health care.”

      Maybe making them wear some kind of marking on their clothing so that everyone knows who they are, and can keep an eye on them would help?

        And not just women! If you’re not Christian or white you get a marking too!

        Wait, that sounds familiar. I’m thinking maybe something similar happened in the 1940s?

        They should wear very distinguishing red robes. So as to easily spot them when they are being kidnapped by the woke mob.
