Over 30 states still allow for the forced sterilization of disabled people. This Disability Reproductive Equity Day, we are pushing for an end to these attacks on our bodily autonomy. #TheBuckStopsHere https://t.co/2wR058iwzV

Disabled pregnant people, particularly disabled people of color, face greater risk of death or complications during pregnancy and birth. Congress must pass the Black Maternal Health #Momnibus Act & increase funding to support HHS OCR enforcement. #DisCoRepro #AbortionIsHealthCare

Disabled women are 11 times more likely to die while giving birth compared to nondisabled women. These risks compound for Black, Indigenous & other disabled pregnant people of color. Today, we are advocating for policies that keep all disabled pregnant people safe. #DisCoRepro

97 years ago, SCOTUS decided Buck v. Bell, holding that the forced sterilization of an incarcerated disabled person is constitutional. SCOTUS never overturned that decision. Disabled people continue to face sexual + reproductive oppression. #TheBuckStopsHere #DisCoRepro

[Center for Disability, Equity, & Intersectionality @ThinkEquitable]

The decision was an attack on bodily autonomy rooted in ableism, racism, sexism, and eugenics. On Disabled Reproductive Equity Day, we reclaim our rights and our bodies and move toward collective liberation.

[Center for Disability, Equity, & Intersectionality @ThinkEquitable]

Today marks the first Disability Reproductive Equity Day! This day highlights the critical need for policies that center bodily autonomy and expand access to sexual and reproductive health care for disabled people. #DisCoRepro #ThinkEquitable

which upheld a Virginia law authorizing involuntary sterilization of disabled people.
