Over 400 pregnancy-related prosecutions surged in 16 states post-Dobbs, mainly over substance use, deterring prenatal care.
Over 400 pregnancy-related prosecutions occurred in 16 states within two years of the 2022 Dobbs decision, mostly for substance use during pregnancy, with Alabama accounting for nearly half.
Charges often involved child abuse or chemical endangerment, and some included abortion medication allegations.

Advocates warn these prosecutions harm maternal and fetal health, especially in states with fetal personhood laws.
