"When providers defaulted to repeat cesareans as the best treatment for this risk, they participated in a history of obstetric racism."
@NRubashkin analyzes how women and their providers engaged with the vaginal birth after cesarean calculator pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3745…
Appreciate this excellent reporting from @bae_lay. Learned about the role of Philadelphia in the racist foundations of US Ob/Gyn prof. @bay_lay ties this history to our present, including the racial algorithm behind the old version of the VBAC calculator. tinyurl.com/4xxamsfs

Black pregnant people 2x as likely to be coerced into procedures + undergo them without consent. Study reveals racist human rights violations in US perinatal + birth care. 🖊@rachelglogan @mclemoremr @doczo1 @Nisha_Malhotra, K Stoll, S Vedam @BirthPlaceLab bit.ly/39Uws4O

Thx @latimes for amplifying!
This study confirms what birthing people— esp. Black, Brown, & Indigenous— already know: the perinatal care they receive is not caring.

#GivingVoice @NRubashkin on #ObstetricViolence "there is enough evidence globally that this happens to women around the world. There are now new avenues for the monitoring of #ObstetricViolence because it is a form of discrimination happening to women around the world"

Excellent piece out in @TheLancet situating #ObstetricViolence within settler-colonialism, chattel slavery, eugenics, criminalization of abortion, and the logics of the carceral state.
As the authors note, #ReproJustice is the way forward.

Great statement out from @AIMS_online on maternity care. It's not about giving birth this way or that way, it's about appropriate care with physiology at the centre.
They say it better 👇
AIMS is calling for physiology-informed maternity services..
