“With consideration for women’s suffering in pregnancy on the back burner, and blame and accountability taking center stage, we should be wary of how pregnancy directives will be mobilized in the criminal legal system.” @azizaahmed

How Long Before Taking Tylenol While Pregnant Is a Crime?

In light of new data showing over 400 people have been prosecuted for pregnancy-related crimes, we should be wary of how Trump’s directives may be used against women.

WE WON: "This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall w/in..this district court squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in US..have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.”"

By identifying mothers and providers as "guilty" parties in the increasing rates of autism, the Trump administration is inviting prosecutions for crimes related to pregnancy, writes @azizaahmed.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

My SCOTUS term preview for the Guardian - it focuses on the case challenging what remains of the Voting Rights Act (Callais), how that's part of a centuries-old campaign against Reconstruction, & how that's representative of several issues on the Court's docket.

My book, The Future That Was, is about the extraordinary rise of global research on women.

It also about the attacks on & starvation of gender research today by universities who leave only the shell intact, dismantling entire fields of knowledge built by women

I wrote a book that I hope helps people think about the relationship between law, science, social movements, &political economy.

It tells the story of how feminists transformed the response to AIDS to ensure better access to healthcare.
