The HRGJ Clinic, If/When/How, and Pregnancy Justice submitted a report to the United Nations exposing how criminal and civil laws in the United States are misused to punish people based on pregnancy outcomes, such as abortion, and those who help them access care. The report, endorsed by several organizations, urges the U.S. to end these practices, address structural discrimination, and ensure equitable access to reproductive healthcare ahead of its November 2025 Universal Periodic Review.
