Information Accountability Foundation Senior Foundation Strategist Lynn Goldstein, CIPP/US, wrote an op-ed discussing how the U.S. Supreme Court's move to overturn Roe v. Wade "flatly undermines" and "calls into question the endurability" of the right to privacy. Alluding to an "alarming" erosion of the right to privacy before the decision, Goldstein said the reversal in the "observational age" could have negative impacts as some states move to monitor and prosecute women who seek unlawful abortions. Goldstein called such state control "illogical" and urged passage of "long overdue" federal privacy legislation.
