I'm assuming that it's intimidation, and that the names of the women will be deleted. But just having your medical records subpoenaed by the government is a frightening and intimidating idea. Right now, he's saying he wants the records because he needs them in connection with the late term abortion ban. But he opposes all abortion on religious grounds, and if he doesn't think it's inappropriate for the government to be sticking its nose there in this case, why should he think it's inappropriate in the case of a 3 month abortion, or even the morning after pill? Would you trust PROLIFE with your medical records if you'd ever had an abortion? I suppose it's also about unofficially, in an image-sense, advertising abortion as a crime, or adjacent to one. The Dept of Justice under Ashcroft has an agenda in the pursuit of which it is using its subpoena powers to get the medical records in cases in which no crime was committed. It's surreal.
