house 06/17/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to recognize and address how laws that prioritize fetal rights over pregnant people’s autonomy harm families like Adriana Smith’s, exacerbate the Black maternal health crisis, and deny pregnant people control over their medical decisions. Our goal is to restore dignity, ensure access to necessary healthcare, and repeal laws that criminalize abortion or override advance directives during pregnancy.

Forced life support sounds tragic, but the real tragedy is ignoring the unborn who have no voice.

If your laws traumatize mothers and give rights to fetuses over humans, you’ve lost the plot and the heart.

Giving rights to fetuses is about protecting life, not punishing families—this bill misses that whole point.
