Washington: Dignity in Pregnancy Loss (SB 5093). Outcome: Passed. This bill ensures Washingtonians are not investigated or criminalized for their pregnancy losses. It also requires jails, prisons, and immigration detention centers to report pregnancy losses to the state annually.
Montana: Restricting Shackling During Childbirth (HB 475). Outcome: Passed. This new law limits the inhumane practice of shackling incarcerated people who are giving birth. It’s well established that shackling seriously jeopardizes the health of both pregnant people and their newborns.
Idaho: Funding Unregulated Pregnancy Centers (SB 1077). Outcome: Defeated. This bill would have pushed $1 million annually to unregulated pregnancy centers, excused those centers from significant accountability, and imposed requirements that made it even more difficult to get abortion health care in Idaho.
