| dc.description.abstract | The United States of America (USA) is a country founded upon an unholy trinity of genocide, slavery and ethnic cleansing. The impacts of this assault remain blatantly clear and can be seen across the whole country. A crucial insight into the state of USA society is afforded via its significant health inequities. Systemic and structural racism are widespread there, as are engrained racist attitudes and ideologies. One field in which this is particularly evident is maternal mortality. The racial dimensions of this iniquity are blatant and unacceptable. However, to compound an ongoing tragedy, the recent Supreme Court decision to roll back on abortion protections represents an assault that will have a highly disproportionate impact on Indigenous and minority pregnant women. | |
