Women face prosecution for what they do while pregnant

Season 2024 Episode 320 | 8m 42s

In the first year after the Supreme Court ended the federal right to an abortion, 200 women faced charges for behavior related to pregnancy, abortion, pregnancy loss or birth. The decision emboldened prosecutors to develop aggressive strategies to charge and imprison pregnant women and mothers. But even prior to the overturning of Roe, hundreds of women faced such charges. Sarah Varney reports.
