YouTube Description
as posted by the channelResident Legal Diva Melba Pearson breaks down the ProPublica investigation documenting how Florida hospitals have used fetal personhood law to drag laboring Black women into emergency Zoom courtrooms — without lawyers — to force them into C-sections against their will. As a Florida attorney and former prosecutor, Melba explains the legal doctrine of informed consent, why pregnant patients are the only exception to a competent adult's right to refuse surgery, and how the Trump administration's push for federal fetal personhood protections makes this a national story. Airing during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this video draws a direct line between bodily autonomy in the delivery room and bodily autonomy for survivors.
