A Grim New Report Shows How Pregnant People Have Been Policed Post-Roe New research documents the myriad ways pregnancy outcomes have been criminalized in the post-Roe legal environment.

In the two years following Dobbs, @pregnancyjust.bsky.social recorded more than 400 cases of pregnancy criminalization. How to do we hold people's fear of being criminally punished for abortion alongside the data? My story:
