The truth is, we have a nationwide maternal health crisis that is impacting Black women most. Restrictive abortion laws are only making it worse. We need a world where people are fully supported in the decisions they make for themselves and their families, not forced to make desperate ones.

Join us tomorrow at 3 pm ET for a webinar on how drug tests are ordered, performed, interpreted, and used in court. Register here: https://pregnancyjusticeus-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uH6O4PVwQbWHTRMEbZPnRg #/registration.

Drug tests of pregnant people are often used as key evidence in child welfare and criminal cases, despite having important scientific and clinical limits. You'll learn where errors and misunderstandings occur, how to evaluate toxicology evidence, ways to challenge drug test evidence in litigation, and the harmful impact on mothers, babies, families, patient care, and public policy.

Join us for "From the Delivery Room to the Court Room: Evaluating and Challenging Drug Test Evidence in Pregnancy and Birth,” a webinar bringing together experts to explain how drug tests are ordered, performed, interpreted, and introduced in court.

On September 15th from 3 - 4:30pm ET you’ll hear from:

- Miriam Mack, Campaigns & Advocacy Director, Senior Legal Counsel, Movement for Family Power
- Lisa Montanez, Forensic Science Policy Advisor, Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice at Cardozo Law
- Melissa Moore, Civil Systems Reform Director, Drug Policy Alliance
- Dr. Mishka Terplan, Co-Founder, Doing Right By Birth
