Her story raises questions about the state of reproductive rights in this country, disparities in health care, and pregnancy criminalization, especially for Black women like Marsh. More than two years after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which allowed states to outlaw abortion, the climate around these topics remains highly charged.

Marsh’s case also highlights what’s at stake in November. Sixty-one percent of voters want Congress to pass a federal law restoring a nationwide right to abortion, according to a recent poll by KFF, the health policy research, polling, and news organization that includes KFF Health News. These issues could shape who wins the White House and controls Congress, and will come to a head for voters in the 10 states where ballot initiatives about abortion will be decided.

    in the US it is better to bleed out than to call 911

    much worse here than the media is making it out to be with both the Democrats and the Republicans being bought they make sure nothing changes because people papered are easier to track and control

    once arrested in the US charged or not you are now in the system marked/tagged and ready for exploitation for the remainder of your life

    US never got over losing the free labor force it once had and now megacorps look to prisons for free labor and after incarceration cheap underpaid workers that have less rights
