We didn’t know that it’s Black Maternal Health Week, but Vice President Kamala Harris is on the case, laying out in plain English the reasons why, say, black women are more likely to die during childbirth: systemic racial inequities and implicit bias. We’ve already had doctors advocating for a “proactively antiracist agenda for medicine”: “What effect would reparations have on systemic inequities in the health care system?” they ask.
That idea is reportedly being put into practice by Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, which will implement a “reparations framework” for distributing medical resources, offering “preferential care based on race” and “race-explicit interventions” for patients. That’s only one hospital, though.
VP HARRIS: “Black women in our country are facing a maternal health crisis…we know the primary reasons why: systemic racial inequities and implicit bias.”

They just throw darts at a list of words and phrases based in critical theory and then put them into a sentence. Then, their useful lemmings in the MSM parrot everything as if its all true. And the mouth breathers and low info voters clap like the trained circus seals they are.

We checked … that’s an actual article from Food and Wine.
60% of black pregnancies are aborted.

And back when she was California attorney general, she sued the people who released those undercover videos from inside Planned Parenthood, and then when she ran for senator, she put up a fundraising page for Planned Parenthood on her campaign website.
@VP can you translate this please

I could sympathize with any woman having maternal issues. But please site your sources and statistics thank you.

What about the black male paternal health crisis?

So everything is now considered a health crisis, not to mention racist.

Glad they are bringing the country together ?.. I wish people would wake up and realize who is really dividing this country for their own gain.

Is there a border crisis she’s supposed to be solving?!
— Seun Jubril (@SJubrilEdit) April 13, 2021
Exactly! No time to do a press conference on the border crisis but this seems urgent enough to address.
— Amber Velarde (@ambervelarde37) April 13, 2021
Why isn’t she at the border?
— G-Dog (@sconos26) April 13, 2021
She laughed when reporters asked if she was going to visit the border. Remember, there’s no border crisis, just a black maternal health crisis. The thing at the border is just a “challenge.”
