Fetal homicide laws are unnecessary and dangerous. They criminalize pregnant people and encourage prosecutorial overreach. He’ll be charged in the deaths of three BORN people which is sufficient.
I’ve spent damn near the last ten years reporting of fetal homicide laws and their abuses and this story is exactly the kind of tragedy lawmakers will use to expand state power over pregnant bodies. Just ask Indiana
For my friends in Colorado media now reporting on fetal homicide laws and Colorado please spend some time learning about Bei Bei Shuai in Indiana. And Purvi Patel. And Hope Ankrom in Alabama
This stories (and dozens more I can name) will provide critical context in understanding the intersections of state power and reproductive autonomy. We know what fetal homicide prosecutions look like! We have real life examples and they don’t look like what prosecutors say!
Have questions? Hit me up! Sincerely! This shit is my passion and you won’t get me to shut up once I start talking. I’m here to help because it’s complicated and messy because lawyers are the worst
Thank you for coming to my TED talk and have a solid weekend
