Reproductive Health and Privacy Updates: Looking into 2025 and Beyond

Few areas of the law have changed as drastically in the past three years as the law around reproductive rights. With the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in 2022, all of the old assumptions and status quo were swept away. The new environment around these services is surrounded by new risks, challenges and uncertainty. Federal and state governments have proposed many different methods and means to deal with these issues, and many of them focus on the privacy of patient’s person health information. In this session, healthcare attorney Adam H. Laughton will discuss these challenges, as well as the federal and state responses to them, as well as what the landscape may look like in 2025 and beyond.
