    Data Broker Is Selling Location Data of People Who Visit Abortion Clinics

    It costs just over $160 to get a week's worth of data on where people
    who visited Planned Parenthood came from, and where they went
    afterwards.

    A location data firm is selling information related to visits to
    clinics that provide abortions including Planned Parenthood
    facilities, showing where groups of people visiting the locations came
    from, how long they stayed there, and where they then went afterwards, according to sets of the data purchased by Motherboard.

    The data sale is obviously more important in the context of a leaked
    Supreme Court draft opinion in which Justice Alito indicated that the
    court is ready to repeal the decision in Roe v. Wade, the decades-old
    precedent that has provided federal protections to those seeking an
    abortion. If that draft does become a formal decision, it would
    immediately fully or partly ban abortion rights in at least 13 states.
