Different standards

I couldn't find the reference to the news story at Channel 4's web site, but I have to wonder ...

... why is that my wife's employer, a major HMO, cannot even, legally, confirm publicly that someone has been a patient at one of their medical centers ...

... but some yahoo can photograph patients at an abortion clinic and post said pictures up on his Internet page?

(Here's an article on the tactic in Mother Jones.)
