And I quite clearly pointed out how that could definitively happen, using this device we call an example, which was extrapolated from the language that's in the actual bill.

Without fudging words and using dodgy semantics, can you please point out just how this information is not private?
(A) Identification of the physician who performed the abortion and the physician's office, clinic, hospital or other facility where the abortion was performed;
(B) The county and state in which the woman resides;
(C) The woman's age, race and marital status;
(D) The number of prior pregnancies and prior abortions of the woman;
(F) The gestational age in number of weeks of the unborn child at the time of the abortion;
(G) The type of procedure performed or prescribed and the date of the abortion; and
(H) Pre-existing medical conditions of the woman that would complicate pregnancy, if any, and, if known, any medical complication that resulted from the abortion itself.

What language is that? Specifically back up your claim and point to it, please. Do you mean the part where it says you're not to name names?
The list above is the exact data they would have required published, should the bill have remained in tact.
Let's make something perfectly clear, I don't want to be a PI, but you know that someone will. You know it. Don't be so absurd.
And, if you have to be either a sleuth or private detective to figure out who the identity of the woman in my example is using the data they will post about about a person, then you aren't very bright, honestly. (Of course I use the generic you here.)
