HOT OFF THE PRESSES! In this piece we make the case that we are in an abortion infodemic and lay out an urgent research agenda.

This infodemic has unique features that make it challenging to address & this has implications for future infodemics. 🧵

First, let’s review why the loss of #reprorights puts women's health at risk. Here are the stats on maternal mortality in the US compared to other industrialized nations.

This is inexcusable.

Digging deeper into the data reveals enormous inequities. Black women have 3 times the maternal mortality rate as white women. As do Native American women, women with diabetes, CVD, and obesity.

We won’t let this dampen the commitment we have to each other. We will continue finding ways to support each other in finding the abortion care that we need, as we’ve always done.

We are in solidarity with the many people and organizations that have been fighting for the right to bodily autonomy for all, from
big cities to rural towns. Bodily autonomy and agency are under attack and we all have a stake in this fight.

This attack on our bodily autonomy will move beyond abortions. We are seeing across the country that people are not able to access the medical care they need. Black people, disabled people, trans people have all experienced dangerous or fatal consequences when denied care.

I will be introducing a bill inspired by @RepKellyCassidy that requires all inseminators to undergo #vasectomies within 6 weeks of having their third child or 40th birthday, whichever comes first. /1

Additionally, . . .

My forthcoming bill will codify the definition of #wrongfulconception to include when a person has demonstrated negligence toward preventing #conception during intercourse. /2

And . . .
. . . this legislation will allow Pennsylvanians to take #civilaction against inseminators for unwanted #pregnancies who wrongfully conceive
a child with them. /3

@SisterSong_WOC In case you didn't know, the entire plot of #DirtyDancing is based on what happens when Penny can't access safe, legal abortion care and what it was like pre #RoeVWade.

Women are the majority in America.
Stop calling issues essential to our survival #identitypolitics.
We are paid 3/4--or less--than men are for the same work.
We are 80% of the minimum wage workers.
We are the majority of the working class & the working poor.
1/
Single mothers and women over 65 are the poorest people in America.
So when you talk about "economic justice" and the #FightFor15 you're talking about WOMEN--not the white guy Trumpers & Berners the MSM keeps writing about.

2/
The claim of #identitypolitics is meant to shut down discourse on #ReproJustice--but nothing contributes more to women's economic inequality than being forced to have children before she's finished school or is financially ready.
