E. Faye Williams: Exploring Modern Obstacles Encountered by Women Today

I have long maintained that our hardships can lead to triumphs, but I question where these adversities leave women, especially Black women. Recently, in the backdrop of tumultuous political discourse, Georgia’s emerging scenario is troubling. A 24-year-old endured a miscarriage, only to face arrest for disposing of fetal remains. Georgia's divisive law, which amplifies fetal personhood, wrongfully categorizes grieving mothers as offenders. This incident highlights a stark truth—women's autonomy over their bodies is increasingly at risk. Immediate efforts are essential to overturn such repressive statutes.
