Investivoq AI Summary

Lawmakers introduce pregnancy-loss bill: Congresswomen Brittany Pettersen, Joyce Beatty, and Lauren Underwood said they introduced the “Pregnancy Loss Protection Act,” which would aim to protect women from criminal prosecution after miscarriage or stillbirth. The release says the bill would ensure women are not treated as criminals for pregnancy loss.

Supporters cite post-Dobbs cases: The lawmakers said the proposal responds to what they describe as increased criminal investigations and prosecutions related to pregnancy outcomes after the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs ruling. They said such cases can create fear around seeking medical care and may disproportionately affect Black women and women of color.

Backers frame bill as health-care protection: In quotes, the lawmakers said miscarriage is not a crime and that women deserve “dignity, protection, and care.” The release also notes Pettersen’s broader support for abortion rights and reproductive health measures, and says the full text of the legislation is available online.
