What a tone deaf photo from the annual meeting of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. ACOG’s patronizing solution to maternal mortality? Put a condom on. Even the apology from @acognews misses the mark and sweeps our concerns under the rug. I’ll say it loud and clear: (1) Contraception does not prevent maternal mortality; it prevents pregnancy. (2) Pregnancy is not a disease state. Instead, let’s talk about how institutionalized racism kills black mothers. Let’s talk about reducing C-section rates. Let’s talk about increasing access to OB and midwifery care. Let’s talk about supporting universal healthcare. . . . #midwife #midwifical #midwifery #midwives #midwifelife #obgyn #midwivesrock #midwiferycare #feministmidwife #feminists #acog #acog18 #maternalmortality #doula #doulatraining #doulas #birthdoula #doula #preggers #blackmomsmatter #blackmamasmatter #evidencebasedpractice #evidencebasedbirth #evidencebasedmedicine #obstetrics #obstetrician
