Criminalization of Pregnancy Post-Roe

This chapter explores the troubling trend of criminalizing pregnant women in the wake of Roe v. Wade's overturning. It examines the implications of fetal personhood laws and how they reshape legal perceptions of pregnant individuals, often painting them as suspects rather than victims. By highlighting increasing prosecutions and the societal impacts of anti-abortion movements, the chapter underscores the urgent need to address the legal vulnerabilities faced by women regarding their reproductive health.
