Reproductive Rights & Black Women

Your Generous Support Is Greatly Appreciated!

Your Generous Support Is Greatly Appreciated!

Reproductive oppression is nothing new to Black Women. During Slavery, enslaved Black women were forced into pregnancy to help build the nation’s economy. Today, expectant Black women are criminalized or excluded from abortion on the basis of poverty, and many local states, through child welfare

systems, take Black children from Black moth

Reproductive oppression is nothing new to Black Women. During Slavery, enslaved Black women were forced into pregnancy to help build the nation’s economy. Today, expectant Black women are criminalized or excluded from abortion on the basis of poverty, and many local states, through child welfare

systems, take Black children from Black mothers at a disproportionate rate. And the Hyde Amendment excludes government support for abortions, thereby excluded funding for women who Black and who are poor.
