Thank you for the ping.
(Before I forget, if anyone wants to support efforts such as those by Dr. Levantino's contribution of the art shown above - which was used by Senator Santorum during the Senate hearings on the ban - take a look at, and consider supporting, the Physicians Life Alliance.
http://www.physicianslifealliance.org/ I should disclose that I'm on the Board of Directors of this group which does work like this and which sponsors "Medical Students for Life.")
As to the request by the Justice Department, the burden of proof on any effort to overturn a ban should logically be placed on the plaintiffs. It is only common sense that the plaintiffs should be prepared to provide evidence that the ban will harm the health of women. It's not enough to simply state that the harm is inevitable. There is a body of evidence in these records, which should be fair game for scrutiny since the plaintiffs are the ones who opened the case and who have made the original complaint.
Besides, the Feds - in that self-same HIPPA that the judge quoted to rationalize his injunction - have already written the rules and regulations that allow themselves the right to copy without supoena any medical record of any "provider" of "medical care."
