FWIW, this is where we're at today, in the UK:

> A British woman who used medication to induce an abortion after the United Kingdom’s legally allowed limit has been sentenced to prison for 28 months, the PA Media news agency reported.
And in the US:

> Like Caswell, many of the women at the Etowah County Detention Center are detained under chemical endangerment of a child charges for alleged drug use during pregnancy, according to the lawsuit. Alabama passed the statute in 2006 to target people who put children at risk by converting their homes into methamphetamine labs, The Post previously reported. But the law has been increasingly applied to cases of fetal endangerment — a byproduct of Alabama’s 2018 personhood constitutional amendment that ensures “the protection of the rights of the unborn child.”

> [O]fficials in Shelby County, Alabama, more than seven years ago brought and later dismissed chemical endangerment charges against a woman who [...] wasn't pregnant, AL.com reported in June 2015. And, in 2019, an Alabama grand jury indicted a woman who lost her unborn baby when she was shot, after declining to charge the shooter because it found she had fired in self-defense.
We're close, if not already there. It's a really bad time to be pregnant in some states.
