Hawk spotlights the work of journalist and abortion rights reporter Jessica Valenti, whose daily coverage tracks the relentless erosion of reproductive rights across the United States. In Georgia, a woman was charged with murder for allegedly ending her pregnancy with abortion pills, a charge that legal experts say should not be possible under current state law. Republicans introduced a national "catch kit" bill requiring women to collect and return pregnancy remains as medical waste after taking mifepristone. In Ohio, a bill would create a state-run pregnancy registry, requiring doctors to report every detected fetal heartbeat and every fetal death to the state, despite Ohio voters already passing constitutional protections for abortion rights.
A murder plot against a Montana abortion provider was uncovered, set against a backdrop where the Trump administration pardoned two dozen anti-abortion extremists, the DOJ refused to enforce the FACE Act, and JD Vance signaled that anti-abortion extremists would face no government consequences. In Florida, Black women are being forced into unwanted C-sections with judges weighing in over Zoom. South Dakota passed a law making it a felony to advertise abortion medication or even link to information about it. Wyoming passed a six-week abortion ban despite a state Supreme Court ruling protecting abortion rights. Meanwhile, New York allocated $20 million to abortion providers and Massachusetts reported a doubling of abortion prescriptions reaching women in restricted states.
