Serena Williams – RICH, ICONIC, WORLD-RENOWNED SERENA WILLIAMS – almost died after giving birth because the nurse thought her super-detailed request to combat her history of blood clots was the result of a confused woman on pain medication. (https://www.vogue.com/article/serena-williams-vogue-cover-interview-february-2018)
You could say that doctors and nurses get requests from patients all the time who think they know what they’re talking about. You could say conversations about Serena being a Black woman so her advice wasn’t taken seriously are just race baiting.
But you could also note that Black women are 243% more likely to die from pregnancy or after-childbirth related issues (https://www.npr.org/2017/12/07/568948782/black-mothers-keep-dying-after-giving-birth-shalon-irvings-story-explains-why) and that nurses throughout the industry have personal accounts of Black women not being taken seriously by white doctors (https://twitter.com/grimalkinrn/status/951170130989408256).
So if Serena Williams can almost die after giving birth because nobody was listening to her, what do you think happens when the average Black woman says “something’s not right here” and requests help?
THIS.
Did you know there is an abortion ban in the GOP’s tax bill? “Personhood” is so extreme, voters have rejected it in Mississippi, North Dakota and Colorado.

Before the Affordable Care Act, birth control made up an estimated 30-44% of all out-of-pocket healthcare spending for women.
The ACA’s birth control benefit has provided more than 62 million women with access to birth control and saved women $1.4 billion in 2013 alone.
Last month, Trump decimated this rule by allowing employers to deny employees access to birth control coverage, for essentially any reason they see fit.
It’s Thanks Birth Control day! We’re thankful for the freedom birth control provides us to chart our own paths and contribute as equal partners in society.
In the span of one week, Trump and Republicans have tried to restrict abortion while ALSO making it HARDER TO ACCESS BIRTH CONTROL.
Henry Hyde was furious with the outcome of Roe v. Wade. So in 1976, he created a policy to prevent low-income women from accessing abortion.
We have voted to reauthorize this discriminatory policy every year since.
