    “The fetal personhood movement has certainly gained traction, moving from a fringe idea to codified laws across the country,” a spokesperson for Pregnancy Justice said in a statement, adding: “And while their goal is to stop abortion and control people’s bodily autonomy, they’ve given little thought to how this impacts all facets of the law beyond abortion … There’s no telling where this will end: HOV lanes, taxes, worker’s comp child custody/kidnapping cases, criminal law, and on and on.”

    Imagine when a pregnant woman is forced to remain with an abusive partner because to do otherwise would be to kidnap her own fetus.
