A legacy of injustice and inequity underpins reproductive health care disparities faced today by people of color.

Native Americans travel among the farthest in the nation for maternal care. To fill the void they must rely on each other.

As more rural hospitals and obstetric units close, the federal government is just beginning to define the scope and impact of maternity care 'deserts.'

Thousands could be threatened, experts say, because the same groups most impacted by abortion bans — rural, low-income, and women of color — also experience higher rates of domestic violence.

People whose maternal care depends on federal dollars can’t get abortions under the Hyde Amendment. What will the end of Roe hold for them?

More than 2 million women live in counties with no birth center or other obstetric care. A ban on abortion could mean greater health risks for them.

"Our kids aren’t growing up, you know. They’re dying. They’re dying too fast," says Koquisha Cook, who lost her daughter in an August shooting.
