Attacks on abortion access are also attacks on maternal health, especially for the most vulnerable.
I’ve also seen how attacks on reproductive health centers affect access to all reproductive services. For underserved communities like mine, Planned Parenthood offices were the first line of care for receiving all forms of reproductive care, from pap smears and contraception to prenatal care. As reproductive health centers shut down, communities lose hubs for all kinds of reproductive resources.
The states with the highest Black maternal death rates are also states with the harshest abortion restrictions.in droves because they are hindered from doing their jobs due to strict abortion laws. With fewer OB-GYNs, Black mothers are even more likely to suffer complications and preventable deaths. Moreover, when pregnancy complications occur, abortion bans hinder health care providers’ ability to give necessary medical intervention.
I mourn the loss of Tori’s life and the lives of countless other Black women, and I grow frustrated by the systems that have let them down. The blame lies in systemic inequality, medical racism and restrictive policies. However, to resolve the root issues that have led to these disparities, the conversation must be broadened: Our work must center the idea that access to abortion and maternal health care are equally important and intertwined under a framework of reproductive justice.
