Goal

We are raising funds to cover the cost of legal fees for a South Carolina woman who is being charged "desecration of human remains" after miscarrying her pregnancy a few weeks ago. ( https://jessica.substack.com/p/another-woman-arrested-for-her-pregnancy)


She faces up to 10 years in jail if she is found guilty. 


This is not the first case like this we've seen in South Carolina, and unfortunately we all know it won't be the last. 


Update: 9/2


She has great pro-bono national attorneys funding her legal fight and we have connected her to a fantastic local attorney.We have covered all of her living expenses up until this point. We need to raise $10k more for an outpatient mental health program and hotel costs while we get her into transitional housing. 


Thank you all for your continues support. 


Update: 7/16


Our client was bailed out of jail on Monday (7/14) and we were able to spend some time with her and ensure she had everything she needed. While it is important for us to maintain her privacy, we want everyone to know that legal counsel has been obtained by her and she is getting the legal help she needs. All money raised for her will go towards legal fees as well as safe living costs for her while she navigates the difficult months ahead. Thank you all for your support. We cannot know what the road ahead looks like for her, but your support has made a huge impact on her quality of life going forward!

We as a country cannot tolerate the abuse and imprisonment of women for simply being women. Those who want to control us through fear, threats and intimidation will not be successful. We must stand up to those who threaten us. We will not back down and we will support women throughout the US who are being victimized by those who are trying to normalize the violent dehumanization of women.

Women are taught to feel shame for everything we do, from day one - but that stops NOW. This poor soul needs to be home to grieve her loss. I feel shame for SC and every person pushing this law forward.
