密歇根州长Whitmer签行政指令保护生殖健康数据:各部门全面审查收集与共享政策

密歇根州州长 Gretchen Whitmer 11月5日在州府 Lansing 签署第2026-4号行政指令,加强对生殖健康数据的保护,保障州内患者与医护人员的隐私。
该指令要求所有州行政部门与机构全面审查涉及生殖健康数据收集、维护与存储的政策,确保数据得到最高程度的保护,包括限制与商业组织及联邦机构共享地理位置信息等数据。指令所称生殖保健包括产前护理、分娩、产后护理、避孕、绝育、堕胎护理、流产处置与不孕护理等。
Whitmer 表示,过去八年她一直为保护密歇根人的生殖自由而战,这项指令是保障患者与医护安全的又一步;数据滥用是日益增长的威胁,必须确保生殖保健数据不会落入可能将其武器化的人手中。
州长办公室回顾称,Whitmer 此前已签署《生殖健康法》、废除该州1931年堕胎禁令、签署禁止雇主因员工堕胎而歧视的法律,并使药剂师可直接开具激素避孕药、在全州逾300处地点提供免费避孕资源。2022年,她曾呼吁大型科技公司保护健康与位置数据,本次指令在此基础上进一步收紧州政府自身的数据政策。

Governor Whitmer Signs Executive Directive 2026-4 to Protect Reproductive Health Care Data in Michigan
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Executive Directive 2026-4 in Lansing on November 5, strengthening protections for reproductive health data and ensuring privacy for Michigan patients and providers.
The directive instructs all executive departments and agencies to conduct a comprehensive review of policies relating to the collection, maintenance and storage of reproductive health care data and ensure it is under maximum protection, including restrictions on sharing geolocation information and other data with commercial organizations and federal agencies. Reproductive care includes prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, sterilization, abortion care, miscarriage management and infertility care.
Whitmer said she has fought to protect Michiganders' reproductive freedom over the last eight years, calling the directive another important step in keeping patients and providers safe, and warning that data misuse is a growing threat and reproductive care data must never land in the hands of people who could weaponize it.
Her office noted earlier actions including signing the Reproductive Health Act, repealing Michigan's 1931 abortion ban, signing a law prohibiting employers from discriminating against women because they have had an abortion, enabling pharmacists to prescribe hormonal birth control, and making free contraceptive resources available at over 300 locations statewide. In 2022 she called on big-tech companies to protect health and location data; the directive builds on that work.
