The fight for abortion access and criminal legal reform is a shared struggle for bodily autonomy. Mass incarceration, by its very nature, undermines bodily autonomy and the ability of people in prisons and jails to make decisions about their reproductive well-being. Ongoing legislative and legal threats to abortion access attempt to penalize and criminalize abortion seekers, providers, and their communities.
