"When providers defaulted to repeat cesareans as the best treatment for this risk, they participated in a history of obstetric racism."

Appreciate this excellent reporting from @bae_lay. Learned about the role of Philadelphia in the racist foundations of US Ob/Gyn prof. @bay_lay ties this history to our present, including the racial algorithm behind the old version of the VBAC calculator. https://t.co/hdieyBgk9b

Black pregnant people 2x as likely to be coerced into procedures + undergo them without consent. Study reveals racist human rights violations in US perinatal + birth care. 🖊@rachelglogan @mclemoremr @doczo1 @Nisha_Malhotra, K Stoll, S Vedam @BirthPlaceLab https://t.co/7UqHinyWs0

[Mimi Niles, Midwife, PhD, MPH @mi_niles]

Dear #obgyn #midwife and #nurse colleagues, understand that bodily autonomy & a person’s sovereignty also needs to affirmed and protected in birth because some of y’all don’t understand the absolute nature of human rights @rachelglogan @doczo1 @mclemoremr

Thx @latimes for amplifying!

This study confirms what birthing people— esp. Black, Brown, & Indigenous— already know: the perinatal care they receive is not caring.

Excellent piece out in @TheLancet situating #ObstetricViolence within settler-colonialism, chattel slavery, eugenics, criminalization of abortion, and the logics of the carceral state.

As the authors note, #ReproJustice is the way forward.
