A Moment of Venn 0

Genevieve Grabman looks at the dismal state of health care for expectant mothers in the United States. It’s not a pretty picture. Here’s how she starts her article (emphasis added):

Despite its wealth, healthcare system, and global dominance, the United States can be a dangerous place for those, like me, with uteruses. Maternal mortality in the United States has increased steadily over the past thirty years, with 17.4 women dying for every 100,000 who had a live birth in 2018.

The irony is that, in our political landscape, the overlap between those who would force women to have unwanted babies deny women control of their own bodies and those who would deny them more, better, and less expensive healthcare is–er–substantial.
