"These states have the largest shares of women of color living in them. Women of color are also more likely to have abortions – Black women were almost four times as likely as white women to get an abortion in 2020; Latina women were almost twice as likely."

The report tells the stories of how lack of access to legalized abortion after the Supreme Court knocked down Roe has seriously affected the lives of some women of color.

"So, when Roe v Wade was overturned last summer, there were fears that deaths and complications from pregnancy would shoot up – particularly among women of color.
Black women were 2.6 times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than their white counterparts in 2021 according to CDC analysis. ...

After Roe v Wade was overturned, it was mostly states in the south and the midwest that banned abortion immediately."

"Pregnancy has long been riskier than abortion in America. Around 650-750 US women die during pregnancy each year, the highest maternal death rate in the industrialized world.

Comparatively, very few women die from abortion or suffer complications: two women died from abortion complications in 2018."

One thing I've noticed in my career is how we are never the right age for a job. We're too young or too old but never just right. #ageism #bipoc #womenofcolor #misogyny

Being a woman is expensive. I had to buy a car because men, mostly white men were attempting to run me over in their car. This is in addition to the sexual abuse they were yelling from their cars. This would happen almost everyday. That is significant that there is at least 1-2 men that would run a woman down on the road or sexually attack her. #whitemen #bipoc #womenofcolor #racism #sexualharassment #baddrivers
