Wombs as Crime Scenes: What Happens When Pregnant Women Lose Their Civil Rights
I highly suggest reading the article which explains "wombs as crime scenes" by examples: In each of these cases, a woman essentially was stripped of her human rights because she was pregnant: These women were detained, deprived of liberty, and criminally investigated in the name of protecting the fetuses they were carrying. The repercussions of their treatment extend far beyond women who try to abort at home—advocates warn that criminalizing women who self-induce abortions puts all pregnant women at risk. If any woman who loses a pregnancy is a potential criminal, then the government can investigate, or even potentially punish, women with wanted pregnancies who suffer miscarriages or stillbirths.
