Exposes Women’s Medical Records to Government
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 07/14/2014
ANCHORAGE — U.S. Senate candidate Mead Treadwell has compiled a disturbing resume of anti-women policies including invading the privacy of Alaska women and forcing them to disclose their medical information to the government.
The State of Alaska is currently being sued by Planned Parenthood for the redefinition, which constitutes an unconstitutional action.
“Mead Treadwell doesn’t have a medical degree, but that’s not stopping him from mandating his personal beliefs on Alaska women by forcing them to report their personal medical information to the government and allowing the state to determine whether or not they can have a potentially life saving procedure,” said Susanne Fleek-Green, Campaign Manager for Alaskans for Begich.
Under Treadwell’s actions, women would be forced to report their medical information to the government so the state can determine whether or not their “condition” makes them eligible for certain reproductive services. The questionably constitutional regulations expose a woman’s medical records to the government and limit access to abortions for women on Medicaid – many of whom have limited economic resources and access to health care.
