The expanding surveillance and criminalization of mutual aid, selfmanaged care, and bodily autonomy, and the growing attempts to criminalize pregnant people, parents, and health care providers have far-reaching ramifications beyond abortion criminalization that require us to join together to collectively resist! Hundreds of restrictive bills have been proposed, many passed, including the Texas law (SB8)1 that not only bans abortion after six weeks, but deputizes civilians to police each other’s reproductive decisions. Such laws are just the latest examples in a long history of criminalizing bodily autonomy, especially for Black, Indigenous, migrant, disabled, queer, and trans people, and people with low incomes who will experience the harshest impacts of anti-abortion legislation. This brief offers an analysis of how our movements are connected, and how to push back against a widening web of criminalization.
