There’s just no excuse for what’s happening. In addition to the hundreds of women who die each year from childbirth, more than 50,000 needlessly suffer devastating, sometimes life-altering complications.https://www.npr.org/2018/05/10/607782992/for-every-woman-who-dies-in-childbirth-in-the-u-s-70-more-come-close …

And half of these deaths and injuries could be prevented. It would only take simple changes in the care provided by doctors and hospitals, but they aren’t doing it.https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/07/31/high-maternal-death-rate-shames-america-developed-nations-editorials-debates/866752002/ …

While this crisis affects all women, black mothers are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy complications than white mothers. This is unconscionable. There’s no place for discrimination anywhere, including in health care.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/11/magazine/black-mothers-babies-death-maternal-mortality.html …

If ours is a country that truly values women, we need to prove it. We need to ensure access to the quality health care mothers deserve. We need reproductive justice for women of color. We need to do

That’s because Planned Parenthood is a fucking scam. Our tax dollars fund the living daylights out of that place and they aren’t even focused on health or wellness. The place is a death factory, of course it’s dangerous.

That's a blatant and ridiculous lie.

One of the problems that women face is that we are not taken as seriously by many doctors. Statistically, men wait shorter times in ER for same complaints & are more likely to be prescribed pain meds than women. Women are often dismissed when they should be listened to.

And how many are dying due to botched abortions? Strange you never mention that! Roe vs Wade is not a woman’s friend though you have led them to believe that! Blood on your hands!
