    ABOUT OUR LANGUAGE:
    Pregnancy Justice uses the terms “pregnant people” and “pregnant person” more frequently than “pregnant women.” This is because in the face of the “fetal personhood” movement, it’s important to recognize the personhood of people who are pregnant. This is also in recognition of the fact that not everyone who becomes pregnant identifies as a woman. At the same time, we must acknowledge that sexism based on the gender binary is a common link in pregnancy criminalization cases and the patriarchal desire to impose traditional gender roles on women. In recognition of all of these complexities, we use the terms “pregnant person/people” and “pregnant woman/women” depending on the context and as appropriate.
