About this listen

"What if I told you that your uterus is now a crime scene?
That the blood between your thighs could trigger a police investigation?
That in the eyes of the state, your miscarriage isn’t a tragedy—it’s a homicide?

What if I told you… that grieving the loss of your baby could land you in a prison cell longer than the person who killed my baby boy?

This is not a horror story. It’s not fiction.
It’s policy. It’s precedent. It’s punishment wrapped in the language of “protection.”

And it’s spreading.
From El Salvador to Texas. From Victorian asylums to your period tracking app.

We were told we were too emotional.
So they locked us in institutions.
We were told we were too sexual.
So they outlawed our pleasure, our contraception, our choice.
And now?
Now they’re coming for our grief.

If you’ve ever lost a pregnancy like I did, this episode may break you down.
But I promise you—it will make you fierce.

Because mourning is not a crime.
But criminalising women absolutely is.

Welcome to We Are The Reckoning.
And today—we’re burning the whole damn script."
