Gov. Jay Inslee signs group of bills on abortion and reproductive health access

Gov. Jay Inslee is signing a number of bills Thursday that will protect access to abortion and reproductive care in Washington state.

Inslee has made maintaining the right to have an abortion in the state one of his priorities, and the five bills he is signing Thursday reflect that.

House Bill 1152, also known as the "My Health, My Data Act," increases consumer protections around collecting, sharing and selling consumer health data, including data collected by apps, websites and organizations.

House Bill 1469 shields abortion and gender-affirming care patients and providers from prosecution by out-of-state authorities and prevents cooperation with investigations. A number of states, including neighboring Idaho, have passed legislation that would penalize anyone who helps a minor get an abortion in another state.
