1/👋🏾 @margoasnipe here, health reporter at @CapitalBNews. In my reporting, conversations around Black maternal health are often separate from those about access to reproductive health care + abortion. 🧵

Experts have been saying for years that it's all connected.

I really walked across FAMU stage with my baby. A graduation to remember 🎓🤟🏾 Meikhele Campbell, MHA.

[Dorothy Roberts @DorothyERoberts]

The assault on reproductive freedom is atrocious for most people, but Black women are more likely to seek abortions, more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, and more likely to be criminalized & imprisoned for their pregnancy outcomes. Then the state violence spreads.

[Jamila Perritt MD MPH @Reprorightsdoc]

A note to all care providers:
There is NO mandate to report someone you suspect (or know) has self managed their abortion. In fact, it's in violation of privacy laws, antithetical public health and human rights frameworks and causes harm. #stopcallingthepoliceonpatients #donoharm

Abortion is still legal in all 50 states. For anyone that has an appointment tomorrow, still go. We are gonna care for folx until the very last moment.

🚨Whoa: Politico reporting that the Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, draft opinion shows

If you live in AL, FL, GA, MS, SC, or TN and need abortion care, you can still get care. Abortion is still legal!

Contact us if you need support paying for or accessing abortion care. We’re to support you!

[Erin Matson @erintothemax]

Today is Earth Day, and I want to say quite clearly:

Coercing people to use contraceptives or have fewer children in the name of the planet is population control.

Population control is not progressive. It's not environmental justice. It is just plain old white supremacy.

As you step into the weekend, make sure you add these shows to your rotation -- we can promise you, you won't be disappointed! And of course, you can listen to the latest season of NATAL wherever you get your podcasts. https://t.co/PfuDuMK4aT

We are so thankful for the love other Black podcasts have shown us during National Minority Health Month! ✨ Tune into @therapy4bgirls & @ForColoredNerds to hear more from our latest season, which follows three Black rural families' pregnancy journeys. https://t.co/ozkDeUIBZC

[NATAL @natalstories]

Each week, BFFs and cultural critics @eeddings & @bmluse deconstruct the nerdier side of pop culture. @ForColoredNerds peels back the layers of Black culture we rarely discuss in mixed company -- and it's so good y'all! https://t.co/KJ72KnUfa0

[NATAL @natalstories]
