In the wake of that decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, supporters of abortion rights expressed concern that losing the national right to abortion would bring increased scrutiny of women during pregnancy, pregnancy loss or birth. In Georgia, for instance, a woman was arrested and charged in March after, authorities said, she disposed of her miscarried fetus in a dumpster. The charges were ultimately dropped.

Researchers at Pregnancy Justice say the number of prosecutions is likely to be higher than the 412 reported. Because of a change in methodology, they couldn’t say with certainty whether it’s higher than before Dobbs.
