Women who are pregnant and in prison often miss out on important prenatal care. In #Alabama, the proposed #WomensCAREAct would offer vital support, like:
✅ Allowing women who are pregnant to delay the start of their incarceration for 12 weeks after giving birth.
✅ Providing women with a medical screening within three days of their incarceration when they suspect that they might be pregnant.
✅ Allowing women to get released on bail when they receive a positive pregnancy test, among other measures.
