For the journalists out there who want to ensure they aren't contributing to pregnancy criminalization through their work, @ifwhenhow.bsky.social has also developed a very thorough guidance for reporting on instances of pregnancy criminalization: ifwhenhow.org/resources/gu...

@ifwhenhow.bsky.social, @pregnancyjust.bsky.social, @renee.bsky.social, @andreagrimes.com, and other repro justice orgs/advocates have long pointed to harmful news coverage as a factor in pregnancy criminalization. These findings add further evidence to back their calls for journalists to do better.

So close! Just ~$1300 left to post her bond tomorrow (and keep @psabortionfund.bsky.social’s abortion funding line open in July — our struggles are intertwined, and the money has to come from somewhere)!

Getting rid of HIPAA and EMTALA would mean 1) the state can fully surveil healthcare [esp. pregnancy, gender affirming care, overdoses] for criminalization, and 2) healthcare companies and the state have fully authority over who lives and dies. It’s all the white supremacist, eugenicist project.

The update: Despite the fact that Missouri voters passed a state constitutional amendment that enshrines protections for abortion back in November 2024, the Missouri Supreme Court has reimposed the state’s total abortion ban.
