Arizona's governor, AG, condemn as 'barbaric' induced labor of pregnant prisoners without consent

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Gov. Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes have condemned inducing the labor of pregnant prisoners against their will, after the incarcerated women’s claims were published by The Arizona Republic, part of the USA TODAY Network..

Three women incarcerated at the Perryville prison in Buckeye told The Republic they were induced before their due dates, not because of specific medical conditions, but for scheduling reasons that would protect the prison system from potential liability.

NaphCare, the company contracted to provide health care services inside Arizona's prisons, said it "absolutely" has no policy of forcing induced labor and insists that the decision rests "solely" with the pregnant woman. The company has repeatedly denied allegations that it has forced women in its care to deliver babies against their will.

But the denials have not tamped down outrage by Arizona politicians and medical experts.

1. Our country needs to ask itself why we constantly mistreat pregnant people

Being pregnant reveals the vicious truth of misogyny (and racism).

2. It is mind-boggling to consider how many problems in the world would be solved if

people stopped electing republicans.
