"Dana Sussman, the deputy executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women, drew a direct line from the ever-increasing attacks on abortion to the criminalization of pregnancy loss.
“Much of this is premised on the war on drugs, but it’s also premised on this false notion that everyone can guarantee a healthy pregnancy,” she told Rewire News Group in October. “And that it is somehow your failure, your incapacity, your fault, your failure, something you did or something you didn’t do, that caused the pregnancy loss.”
NAPW has been tracking cases involving the criminalization of pregnancy loss for decades, and what they’ve found is startling: a rapid escalation of criminalization that is being weaponized against the most marginalized pregnant people."
