I honestly don’t see how this data is any worse then regular location data.

Everybody goes grocery shopping, only few get abortions, and only one of these groups is getting harassed for it.

Protesting something you disagree with should not be a crime unless you are becoming violent.

Violence has many facets. Harassment ist violence and it’s done by pro-lifers.

Someone seeking an abortion can always just ignore someone begging them not to do it just like they can ignore a salesman in a mall.

This is crazy. The pro-life protests are not at all comparable to a vacuum salesman.

I agree that data collection is a good security measure in this case. But privacy friendly does not necessarily mean there is no data collected. Important is that nothing is shared with 3rd parties and all data is well protected.
