While I appreciate state-level efforts to make
#MaternalJustice a priority - CA has made great strides with inequity in maternal care, and my home state of MA is studying autopsy reports & medical charts of those who suffered maternal deaths - we must do better.Show this thread

I believe he's referencing decades of sociological research on the subject, but it's good to know you're so quick to discount racism as a problem for black women in an area of their lives where they might be most vulnerable: their medical care. Shows us who you really are.
