This study aims to explore the experiences women face due to the criminalisation of abortions in the United States. It presents a thematic analysis of the criminalisation of abortion through a feminist framework, examining its profound implications on women's lives. Utilizing secondary data from social media platforms and news outlets, this research will also employ netnography and ethnography methodologies to delve into the lived experiences surrounding abortion restrictions. Key findings indicate that the criminalisation of abortion results in severe health risks due to unsafe procedures, legal consequences including imprisonment and fines, and pervasive social stigma, which collectively undermine women's physical and psychological well-being. Additionally, the criminalisation of abortion severely restricts women's reproductive autonomy and worsen existing health issues. The study emphasizes the critical need for policy reforms to ensure access to safe and legal abortion services. By discussing the role of digital and traditional media in shaping public opinions, the research concludes that decriminalizing abortion is essential for promoting women's rights, health, and social justice.
