Jesse Jackson called abortion “murder” and once told a black newspaper in Chicago that “we used to look for death from the man in the blue coat and now it comes in a white coat.”May, between 2012 and 2016 black mothers terminated 136,426 pregnancies and gave birth to 118,127
The U.S. is only 1 of 13 countries in the world where the maternal mortality rate is worse now than it was 25 yrs ago, and it particularly affects Black women. My Maternal CARE Act will address the persistent biases in our health system and work to end this public health crisis.

Other countries value midwifery. We have Ina May Gaskins right here in America; let’s listen to her.

Yet in Georgia they just authorized a doctor to complete a procedure that doesn’t exist at the detriment of the mother’s life.

The willfully ignorant won’t know what you are talking about. But, I completely agree with you. These Supposed leaders don’t care what they say, even if completely ignorant and false, as long as they keep the Anti-choice vote.

Does the health system deserve the entire brunt of this travesty? I’m thinking education and poverty may be the more significant underlying factors.

Persistent biases, wow, now we're biased against black women in health care! When it's approaching 80% babies born out of wedlock with most mother's being a young teen, how about some strong birth control measures that would reduce pregnancies and abortions! Ignorant stuff!

I’m not a WOC but I almost died in childbirth 2x. My second child did die simply bc they did not listen to me. They ignored my screams for help and of pain. When I told them I was passing out they told me “you are just anxious sweetie.” I was losing blood and my child.

I am so sorry. I know your pain. Grief and love that never ends. No one listened. Hug from my core. You were betrayed.
