Thanks Lindsey Graham. You<U+2019>ve put it out there what the MAGA Republicans are really about with women<U+2019>s reproductive health. They want to reinforce Dobbs with a national law. He<U+2019>s speaking their truth. We must listen and ACT.
Just heard of the horrendous ruling against the Affordable Care Act. Health care is a right, not the privilege of those who can afford it. Let<U+2019>s get ready for battle.
@VA_GOP So I guess you would have preferred the, kids, teachers, staff, bus drivers, cafeteria workers all be exposed to an airborne communicable disease from which over one million people died? It was called a global pandemic.
So the Commissioner of Health doesn<U+2019>t believe racism causes health disparities and Democrats use <U+201C>gun violence<U+201D> as a political gimmick. Talk about stick on stupid.
Looking forward to continuing the fight for women's freedom to make their own health choices and have their voice in decision making. https://t.co/sXOkKJVTT3
@VA_GOP Yet you don<U+2019>t care about the inherent cultural bias<U+2019> present in maternal and infant health care for black women. Check out the data on outcomes in births and deaths with this population and stop the hypocrisy on being <U+201C>pro life<U+201D>
Governor Youngkin vetoed SB35 which would have required training in unconscious bias and cultural competency with respect to African American women’s maternal health care. This veto and the rationale for it shows a clear lack of understanding of, not only of the legislation, but of the severity of the problem facing black maternal mortality. It is not a problem limited to Petersburg which is always touted by this Administration as ground zero for what is good for black folks. Sanitizing the language of this bill with the removal of “unconscious bias and cultural competency “ and limiting training to a two hour one and done segment is an insult to the many black women who have to suffer from the bias and cultural insensitivity of health professionals. The unconscious biases among medical professionals can lead to death and poorer health outcomes for patients. This bill was not about partisanship or ideology - it was about ensuring better healthcare outcomes for patients, mothers and their babies. It is a shame unconscious bias drove this veto.
