Roe is over. Prison sentences are on the way.
What do you do when the U.S. Supreme Court says your choices could have earned you a prison sentence?
As women who have had abortions, that is the question we ask ourselves after the court threw out 50 years of precedent protecting the right to abortion care in reversing Roe v. Wade last month.
Without this protection in place, many states are outlawing abortion. That means we need to be prepared to see women incarcerated for their family planning decisions. Think that’s a doomsday prediction? These arrests and punishments have already been happening for quite some time, and the flood gate could open now that new laws with severe penalties are being considered.
While the intent to criminalize patients has not been made explicit, some states have been clear that doctors, nurses, clinic staff, abortion fund staff and volunteers, as well as friends and family who help patients, will face legal consequences.
