A new policy put forth by Secretary Pete Hegseth would require that only information approved by his department can be published. Is this a reasonable attempt to protect sensitive information...or a smokescreen for censorship?

A flyer for part 1 of the Policing Pregnancy Webinar Series on September 25 at 3pm ET. Undoing Roe was just a step for the anti-abortion movement. The true goal is to make embryos and fetuses legal “people” under the 14th Amendment. Join the discussion examining history and the fight over who is a person in America. 
Panelists: 
Mary Ziegler, Author of “Personhood”
Lourdes A. Rivera, Pregnancy Justice
Imani Gandy, Rewire News Group

Important illustration of how the Criminalization of Pregnancy directly impacts people's lives!

We have NEW research on pregnancy-related prosecutions in the first two years after Dobbs, and there are surely more cases.

They show us that giving rights to fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses paves the way for people to be ARRESTED and PUNISHED for all pregnancy outcomes — beyond abortion.
In the two years after Dobbs, prosecutors initiated at least 412 cases charging people with crimes related to pregnancy, pregnancy loss, or birth. Prosecutors criminalized 31 people who experienced a pregnancy loss in the 2 years after Dobbs. Pregnancy related prosecutions happened in 16 states. These were the top 3: Alabama, Oklahoma, and South Carolina. Most cases involve allegations of substance use during pregnancy - 399/412

Most cases began in a medical setting - 264/412

Most cases involved the family policing system - 217/412
