So, like, what's up with this new bill? I heard it's about reporting data on abortions or something. I don't really get why they need to do that. It seems kinda invasive, you know? Like, why do they need all that info? And how is it gonna affect me? I just don't see the point of it all. Can someone explain it to me?
