Reproductive rights advocates fear that crisis pregnancy centers—as the eyes and ears of the anti-abortion movement—could play a key role in state enforcement of abortion bans that are likely to be enacted in more than half of states if RoeVWade falls.
Next Level was developed by Heartbeat International, which markets the software to their 700+ pregnancy center affiliates. On their website, Next Level boasts that its software enables CPCs to access clients’ private information and share it with the broader anti-abortion movement.: “The data your organization collects needs to work not just for you, but for the rest of the pregnancy help movement ...you need to use your own data to make great decisions at the local level.
“Large anti-abortion organizations are using crisis pregnancy centers to collect vast amounts of personal information about pregnant people and are positioned to use the big data they are collecting, without oversight or accountability,” says McKenna. “It’s a perfect storm for violations of people’s privacy rights by CPCs in order to support a vigilante, anti-abortion legislative and policy agenda,” says McKenna, especially at a time when states are banning abortion and the Supreme Court is poised to abolish constitutional abortion rights.
“When you enter into an agreement with Heartbeat International and you give them your information, there’s a clause that basically says ‘we won’t share your information, except when it advances the mission of Heartbeat International.’ OK, so what does that mean?” asks Mailman. “Part of Heartbeat International’s mission is to end abortion.
