About Pregnancy Justice

Pregnancy Justice is a New York City-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works to defend the rights of pregnant people, including those who give birth, experience a pregnancy loss, or have an abortion. Founded in 2001 as National Advocates for Pregnant Women, it took its current name in November 2022. The organization describes itself as a legal nonprofit focused on people most likely to be targeted: low-income people, people of color, and people who use drugs.

Its programs include free criminal defense and affirmative litigation for people charged or threatened because of pregnancy or pregnancy outcomes, policy advocacy at state and federal levels, research documenting pregnancy-related prosecutions, and training and communications for partners. Its New York presence is its address in New York City (New York, NY 10018) listed on its official site. Its cases and amicus briefs reference courts in several states. It is a nonprofit organization rather than a law firm.
