More than 200 pregnancy-related prosecutions in first year post-Roe

Study finds highest yearly number of prosecutions related to pregnancy - and experts say that is likely an undercount

In the year Roe v Wade was overturned, at least 200 people in the US were prosecuted for conduct relating to their pregnancies - the highest number of cases in a single year ever recorded, according to a new report released on Tuesday.

The report, compiled by the advocacy group Pregnancy Justice, is the first comprehensive accounting of pregnancy-related criminal charges between June 2022 and June 2023, but researchers warn that it is still likely an undercount.
