The World Privacy Forum drafted a report outlining ways U.S. President Joe Biden and the executive branch can revise implementation of the Privacy Act of 1974 to increase protections for women's reproductive health care data held by federal agencies. The report recommended three actions that could "restrict and more carefully administer some disclosures of reproductive health information by federal agencies to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies." WPF also suggests the broader risks stemming from the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade reversal "requires a wide array of tools and controls."
