[quote=Anonymous]It's completely discriminatory against women who are devalued in society.

That said, this is NOT news -- it's been happening for decades and generations and over 40 years ever since Roe v Wade established that the state has a right to a child when it's still in it's mother's womb.

Those of us in reproductive rights (including the right to have a child) have known about if for years.

But what can we do?  When I went to the National Women's Law Center to do this work, they admitted that it's not controversial so no one is donating money to it -- everyone agrees that it's messed up.

If you really care about this issue, join us!  We care.  We are just small in number and try to get out the word that pregnant women (NOT even women trying to get rid of a baby) are being harmed and threatened -- court-ordered c-section, handcuffed during labor, CPS called for planned home births.  Women are still not equal to men -- but it's not abortion or sex ed so it's not "hot".  Get it on the news!  We've tried!
