![Between June 24, 2022 and June 23, 2023, the first year after the Dobbs decision, at least 210 criminal cases were initiated charging pregnant people with crimes related to pregnancy, pregnancy loss, or birth. Documented prosecutions were initiated in twelve states-Alabama, California, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming. While prosecutions were brought in all of these states, six collectively account for the majority of the reported cases, with Alabama and Oklahoma accounting for the overwhelming majority. As shown in Figure A, cases documented in Alabama (104) represent nearly half of the documented prosecutions. Oklahoma represented nearly a third (68), followed by South Carolina (10), Ohio (7), Mississippi (6), and Texas
(6), which continue to bring a notable number of prosecutions.
