It's Black maternal health week! This time is used to highlight the disparities in maternal health. This week aims to bring awareness to the urgent need for equitable health care and the systemic barriers that contribute to higher rates of maternal morbidity and mortality in Black communities.

During Black Maternal Health Week, we uplift the movement to address the alarming rates of maternal deaths and complications experienced by Black Mamas in the U.S. Advocating for equitable and respectful health care is a necessary fight for reproductive freedom. @blackmamasmatter.bsky.social

Take the time to follow the link and read for yourself the list of cancelled grants. The combination of cruelty, shortsightedness, and absolute ignorance is astounding.

Fetal personhood justifies invasive surveillance of periods, ovulation, hormones, pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, delivery, postpartum, lactation - I am not joking!

Incredibly appreciative of the many people, including colleagues and collaborators, who shared evidence, personal and professional experience around the harmful and unscientific nature of this bill, plus withstood quite a crowd, at the Georgia State Capitol today
