The Trump Administration, Reproductive Care for Incarcerated People, and 3rd Anniversary of Dobbs v. Jackson
Today we’re diving into a topic that intersects reproductive rights, incarceration, and systemic inequities. It’s heavy, but trust me, it’s a discussion we need to have.
If you thought life behind bars was tough, imagine navigating pregnancy, giving birth, or even thinking about abortion access in those conditions. Spoiler alert: it’s an uphill battle.
Remember Dobbs? That 2022 ruling rocked the nation by overturning Roe v. Wade, shifting the power to regulate abortion to individual states. Suddenly, states became the referees of reproductive rights. The results? Some states banned abortion almost entirely, while others doubled down on protections. This legal patchwork has affected millions, and while we’ve heard much about what this means for the general public, incarcerated women often get left out of the conversation. So today, we’re putting them front and center.
