The Movement to Prosecute Women Who Have Abortions Is Growing
NOTUS
Though legislation that would punish women for having abortions has not passed any state legislatures, after the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, these bills aren’t just supported by the far fringes of the anti-abortion movement, which prior to 2022, they decidedly were.
“We have seen substantial gains for our legislation over the last few years,” said Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, which writes model legislation for lawmakers to make abortion illegal with no exceptions. “Our efforts and the work of abolitionists across the country to reach both the culture and the public square are bearing fruit. We saw over a dozen bills and counting filed this year.”
