I think this is a horrible idea but just because I know many of y’all only read the headline: the proposal is NOT for a “database” in the sense that the federal government is going to start directly keeping track of pregnancies. Rather, it’s for a website where you can find motherhood-related information and a “database” of service providers. The “tracking” part is apparently that you can register on this website, and the gov reserves the right to then keep this (voluntarily surrendered) personal data to “reach out” to moms and “help” them.
Of course none of this would offer any info on abortion. Because this is coming from Alabama.
