National Advocates for Pregnant Women

New York, New York, 10018 United States

Mission Statement

Pregnancy Justice protects and advances pregnant people’s bodily autonomy and rights by defending those who have been criminalized, advocating for proactive policy and legal change, and shifting the public narrative. We focus on those most vulnerable to investigation, arrest, detention, or family separation related to pregnancy. This includes women and people who are poor, of color, with disabilities, do not conform to gender binary stereotypes, and/or use drugs.

About This Cause

We Believe: ● That the criminal legal system and family policing system, commonly known as the “child welfare system,” should never be involved in pregnancy and pregnancy-related outcomes; ● that all people are entitled to dignity, equality, and respect; ● and that the threat of pregnancy criminalization, like the criminal legal system itself, is deeply rooted in patriarchy, racism, classism, and ableism and targets the people most marginalized by these systems.
