Don't believe this dangerous conspiracy theory about Black women and abortion - Velshi - MSNBC
The effects and politics of abortion bans play out differently in Black communities, which already suffer from high maternal mortality rates and overall health care inequities. Advocates stress the need to address the structural racism and social inequalities affecting Black women and their families, noting that reproductive health cannot be divorced from this broader context.
One particularly harmful myth that conservatives are resurfacing is the idea of abortion as "Black genocide," which frames Black women as vessels for racial survival. - Aired on 09/22/2024.
