Episode 54: Preparing for Abortion Surveillance in a Post-Roe World

As we brace for the likelihood that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade, there is growing conversation about how states with abortion bans could go about investigating whether someone has had an abortion. This has given rise to the notion of abortion surveillance – a harrowing concept and yet something that could soon be all too real. This week, Jeanne Hruska speaks with Chad Marlow, ACLU Senior Policy Counsel on privacy, surveillance, and technology issues, about what abortion surveillance could look like and what steps people can take to protect their privacy.

Episode Host: Jeanne Hruska, ACS Sr Advisor for Communications and Strategy

Episode Guest: Chad Marlow, Senior Policy Counsel, ACLU
