Today, during the start of Black Maternal Health Week, Angela Fobbs, Global Black Caucus Chair, released the following statement: “Across the United States, Black women have long faced devastating barriers to accessible maternal care, leading to disproportionately higher pregnancy-related complications and mortality rates. While the Biden-Harris Administration is addressing this crisis head-on, Donald Trump is hellbent on worsening Black maternal health by pushing to repeal the Affordable Care Act and unleashing extreme abortion bans across the country. Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are waging a war on reproductive rights that disproportionately harms Black women as he and his MAGA allies plan to ban abortion nationwide, with or without Congress. This November, the stakes could not be higher, and Americans Abroad will head to the polls knowing that healthcare is on the ballot.”
