Goodwin illustrates the erosion of bodily autonomy, from cases like Marlise Muñoz in Texas, where the state overruled her end-of-life wishes due to her pregnancy, to systemic abuses like shackling pregnant women during childbirth and prosecuting women for substance use during pregnancy. Policing the Womb links these practices to broader agendas undermining access to contraception, sex education, and reproductive healthcare, resulting in high maternal mortality rates and racial disparities. Goodwin highlights how Black women have historically faced such policing, warning that post-Dobbs v. Jackson (2022), these risks extend to all women. The book concludes with a call to action, emphasizing the human rights and dignity lost when reproductive autonomy is stripped away.\n
