from Part III - Criminalized Care
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 August 2022
About a year and a half into gathering the data for this book, I hired a law student to assist in data analysis. She was in law school at the time but had worked as a labor and delivery nurse at a local hospital for many years. She was, to say the least, an ideal candidate for the research team. One of the first assignments I gave her drew on her medical and practice knowledge. I asked her to go through the criminal court files for the women who were prosecuted and look specifically at the allegations contained in the charging document. Her task was to determine whether or not the public criminal allegations against the fetal assault defendants included information obtained by health care providers in the health care setting. Several days later she stopped by my office visibly upset. As it turned out nearly every file contained such information.
