We discuss the growing phenomenon of pregnancy criminalization, examine the path forward in a post-Dobbs world, and consider what a just jurisprudence of pregnancy might look like.
Karen’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:
Educate yourself at the Pregnancy Justice website: https://www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/our-issues/
Make your voice heard, put pressure on district attorneys who bring cases to criminalize pregnant people.
Karen Thompson is the Legal Director of Pregnancy Justice and leads a team defending the rights of people who face criminalization because of their pregnancies or pregnancy outcomes.
