  1. #Pregnancy-loss cases represented just a fraction of the prosecutions tallied by #PregnancyJustice over 12 months. In total, Bach & her team found ≥210 cases in which authorities initiated #charges against #pregnant people for #crimes related to pregnancy or #birth. That’s a record number of pregnancy-related #prosecutions in 1 year—&, the researchers say, it’s almost certainly an undercount.

  2. #SCOTUS’ landmark 2022 ruling in #Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org “open[ed] the door to govt intrusion into #pregnancy in unprecedented ways,” #PregnancyJustice says, “throwing suspicion on pregnancy loss, particularly outside #medical settings.” In just the first year after Dobbs, ≥22 women around the US faced #criminal prosecution after suffering #miscarriages, #stillbirths, or the #death of #premature babies, the org reports.
