In parts of Oklahoma, pregnant women who ask for help with substance use risk being jailed instead of getting proper care. Eliza Washington-Harris and Caitlin Beasley from Metriarch explain how locking up moms doesn’t fix addiction—it just tears families apart and makes women too scared to be honest with their doctors, putting prenatal health at risk. Their research shows that support, early care, and harm reduction lead to better outcomes than punishment ever could. According to them, if we want healthier moms and babies, we need treatment, not jail cells for pregnant women who need help. Find more information at metriarchok.org.
