VERMONT PREMIERE
Personhood: Policing Pregnant Women in America tells a different reproductive rights story that ripples far beyond the right to choose and into the lives of every pregnant person in America. Like a moment from the chilling “Handmaid’s Tale,” Tammy Loertscher’s fetus was given an attorney, while the courts denied Tammy her constitutional rights. At the intersection of the erosion of women’s rights, the war on drugs and mass incarceration, Tammy’s experience reveals the dangerous consequences of these little-known “personhood” laws for American women and families.
