No state prosecutes more pregnant people than Alabama, and Etowah County leads with more than 150 recent cases. We’ve secured the release of five women who all faced unconstitutional bond conditions. They still await trial, and others will be detained. Help them secure local counsel and pay case-related fees.
With Roe gone, we’re arming professionals (law enforcement, healthcare providers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and more) with the tools and strategies to reject the criminalization of all pregnancy outcomes, including abortion. Download our first-of-its-kind, multidisciplinary guide: Confronting Pregnancy Criminalization.
NAPW combines legal advocacy, public education and organizing to achieve a country in which no one is arrested, shamed, or denied constitutional or human rights because they have the capacity for pregnancy, are pregnant, or because of any outcome of their pregnancies — including births, miscarriages, stillbirths and abortions. NAPW is committed to advancing the equal rights and personhood of all pregnant people including those most likely to be targeted for arrest, detention, and blame — low income women, women of color, and drug-using women.
