Film screening, Personhood: Policing Pregnant Women in America
Friday, April 14, noon, Hampton Room, 61传媒.聽 (Bring your lunch!)
Through the story of Tammy Loehrtscher, a rural Wisconsin woman who was jailed after telling her doctor about her occasional pre-conception drug use, this documentary tracks the rise of the 鈥渇etal personhood鈥� movement and reveals a growing system of laws in America that target and criminalize pregnant people, especially lower income women and women of color. At the intersection of the erosion of women鈥檚 rights, the war on drugs, and mass incarceration, the film reveals the dangerous ripple effects of anti-choice policies on women who have no intention of ending their pregnancies.聽 Website:聽 .
