Did you know about 73% of women exonerated in the last three decades were wrongfully convicted of crimes that never took place at all? On the last day of #WomensHistoryMonth, read more about women and incarceration in the U.S.:

This statistic is confusing to me. I would think that exoneration only happens when a crime has not been committed. Is the point that only 27% of women exonerated were convicted of crimes that actually took place, but were committed by someone else and the woman convicted was falsely identified?
Never. Took. Place. At. All. Let that sink in.
This is why I wrote my legal thriller, Unshackled- about moms in prison and the importance of reuniting them with their children.

Be prepared for an onslaught of appellate decision-making now that some states are interpreting their laws to punish women who have had miscarriages or problematic pre-term births. (Alabama, CA, OK, etc.) In one egregious recent example, a woman naturally miscarried a very early pregnancy at home and disposed of the results herself, not knowing what else to do. They want to charge her with "abusing a corpse." (This was not a viable pregnancy.). The war on women is real.
