Free Fridays Feature: The Motherhood Mandate

She didn’t break the law. She just got pregnant.

Rylee Williams thought the test would be negative. But at a local pregnancy crisis center, a fetal heartbeat is detected—and that’s enough to activate Wisconsin’s Unborn Child Protection Act.

Without warning, Rylee is detained and held in state custody. She’s evaluated as a potential threat to her own pregnancy and placed under legal restrictions designed to “protect” the unborn child—regardless of the cost to her own life, freedom, or future.

She hasn’t been charged. She hasn’t been heard. She’s just been claimed.

It’s fiction for now. But maybe not for long.
