RECORDING // Personhood, Pregnancy Criminalization, and Reproductive Choice //

Fetal personhood is the idea that fetuses, and, in some cases, embryos and fertilized eggs, have the same legal rights and status at conception given to born people. This legal concept is being used to punish pregnant persons via surveillance, obstetric violence, and criminalization. This webinar will discuss the threat fetal personhood poses to pregnant persons across the country, the possibility of a national fetal personhood law and its effects, and how pregnancy criminalization affects people even within California.

Join two experts from Pregnancy Justice – Dana Sussman, the Senior Vice President, and Kulsoom Ijaz, Senior Policy Counsel – to discuss these critical issues and offer opportunities on how to help.
