As the Supreme Court’s expected decision to overturn Roe v. Wade looms over Washington, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has announced sweeping legislation to ban the sale of location and health data.
Warren’s Health and Location Protection Act — cosponsored by a slate of Democratic senators, including Sens.
