Provides that a health care professional who provides abortion-related care may submit, to any government agency, person, business, or association, a written request that the government agency, person, business, or association refrain from disclosing any personal information about the health care professional. Provides that if a government agency receives a written request from a health care professional, the government agency shall not publicly post or display publicly available content that includes any personal information of the health care professional.
