EXCLUSIVE: Arizona is inducing the labor of pregnant prisoners against their will — sometimes as early as three weeks before their due date. Health care experts call the policy unethical. Reproductive justice advocates say it's a human rights violation. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
“I'm quite used to the prison making all these decisions for us because we are still state property." Incarcerated women speak out against Arizona's policy of forced inductions in @USATODAY usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
@JimmyJenkins Thank you for your brave reporting, Jimmy. This practice is horrendous at best — a human rights violation and yet another overstep by the for-profit AZ prison sy$tem.
@JimmyJenkins Its absolutely unethical to perform any medical procedure that both increases risk & isnt medically necessary. How did they get authorization & a compliant medical provider?
@JimmyJenkins @TrashyBeaverha1 Arizona’s prison system needs to be reworked entirely. It’s failing the public and those who are incarcerated. We should focus on reducing recidivism so people can break the cycle of incarceration and reintegrate into their family and society successfully.
@JimmyJenkins I wish that I could believe info coming from @azcentral
@JimmyJenkins @OleSkoolRaiders Arizona has been doing brutal things that violate and sterilize women, against their will, for four centuries. #LandBack
@JimmyJenkins The AMA has been too quiet in the face of all the recent reproductive rights issues.
@JimmyJenkins This is God damn disgusting, and not a single word from antiabortionists.
