Texas’ abortion ban will disproportionately affect women of color, particularly Black women, who already face more financial burdens, health complications and risk of death related to pregnancy or childbirth.

“We are seeing the impact in a huge, huge way,” Matthews, 43, said. “We’re seeing this blanket effect of what’s already been happening.”

These days, life is expensive even for a single adult, Matthews said. Adding another person to take care of makes it so much more expensive, especially when the U.S. is facing a diaper and. She said many people think it’s easy to combat those shortages, particularly the formula shortage, by simply breastfeeding. But that doesn’t account for women who aren’t able to produce breast milk or who have past trauma associated with their breasts, which is frequent among Black women.

For Black women, Blount said the underlying messaging of the Supreme Court’s opinion and the looming abortion bans across half of the country is that their bodies aren’t valuable and that they can’t make decisions about their health care by themselves. This alone, she said, will undoubtedly cause long-term trauma among young Black girls as they become adults.

Instead, Matthews said she believes help will come from community leaders and organizers who work to share information and resources with the Black community. “There are steps that can be taken to reduce maternal mortality rates, but they start with valuing the very lives of these people who are giving birth,” Blount said.

Texas is just begging for the Blue Wave

Deaths by age group?

Most babies aborted are black babies. Hundreds of thousands a year.

So black babies are most at risk of being murdered by liberal policies... Image that!

PP was formed to stop Blacks from having Babies. The Dem Party continues this.

Another bs story.. no reporting. No facts.. god newspapers and news agencies as a whole are nothing but political agendas.

Not only black women! Lower income women will find it difficult to find the resources to travel to a place where it's legal. Prior to Roe, wealthy women traveled to other countries to have a safe abortion, while poor women had back alley procedures with coat hangers.

Well, millions of black women weren't BORN because of Roe v. Wade, which was a major goal of Planned Parenthood founder.

Tx isn’t ready for the influx of unwanted children into the foster care system or the strain it will put on the financial system. But it’s a man made mess happening now brought to you by today’s maga party.

Certainly abortion is the most vile form of racism ever devised. It has always targeted and violently killed babies of color. That’s why they put abortion mills in barios & black neighborhoods.Justice Thomas has just saved more black lives than any other American in history. Hero

Another newspaper trying to report garbage. Just report facts, exact sources, and it studies. Your supposed to report the news not your opinion. People can make their own opinions

Parents, raise your children with better morals

These ’s were not mentioned- 1,800 black babies are killed in abortions every single DAY in America. Hoping that goes down!

By design

Isn't that *the point* for Abbott & friends, though? To keep 'the Blacks and the others' down? And since he revels in evil, I'm sure his base would agree. It'll also affect white women who aren't wealthy, too, obviously: question is I wonder how many will wake up by Nov?

moberzan More evidence of GOP plot coming into being. GOPCoupKluxKlan

So essence black lives matter in Texas. But not to black mothers.

Nazis gonna do nazi shit, you know? The Jews weren’t the first to be sent to the camps.

The cruelty of these SC decisions is astonishing.
