This is the 2nd Black woman I’ve seen THIS WEEK who was in active labor in a hospital, was denied care, & had the baby <15 mins later. When we say the maternal mortality rates of Black women is 2-4 times higher than white women, this is why. Why make it about race? You tell me.
In case you haven’t heard:
Women are suing Pfizer in a class action lawsuit because the birth control shots (Depo-Provera) have been found to cause brain tumors.
1 in 4 women use this birth control. And Black women are prescribed it at double the national rate.
