@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj A future where **healthcare is a right, not a privilege. ** where no one is denied care due to their financial situation, skin color, or documentation is something we can and must create. We can get there together. Come along

#njcu @jennifermusial.bsky.social This is about principles, not just policy. Do we value the lives of pregnant people? Which do we believe in—individual survival or collective thriving? These are ethical inquiries.

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcu Asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrant women are frequently left out of these discussions. We also need to put their difficulties and stories front and center. Nobody is expendable. #ImmigrantJustice

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj The strength of community-led solutions has been demonstrated by the emergence of Black maternal health movements. It saves lives to listen to Black women. For a period.

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Trust** is another issue here. Have faith that expectant mothers are aware of their needs. Honor their choices. Put their opinions front and center in practice and policy.

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Regardless of one's financial situation, insurance coverage, or immigration status, we require **universal prenatal and postpartum care**. Everybody has the right to give birth in a dignified and safe manner.

We must make community investments by establishing clinics in underprivileged areas, guaranteeing access to transportation, and enhancing housing and food security. Social conditions influence maternal health.

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj We call for complete support for midwives and doulas, Medicaid expansion, language availability, and culturally competent care. These are life-saving tools, not extravagance. #MidwivesMatter

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj According to Angela Y. Davis, abolition feminism aims to destroy the structures that imprison, dominate, and murder people, especially those in the medical field. It's a feminist battle. #AbolitionFeminism #HealthcareJustice

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Pregnancy problems among underrepresented groups are on the rise, according to Boone-Heinonen et al. (2024). Inadequate prenatal care is structural violence, not merely a gap. We have to address it by name. #StructuralViolence #ReproJustice

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Greiner et al. (2018) point out that structural constraints, not a lack of merit, are the reason Medicaid patients have worse outcomes. It is imperative to expand public health systems. #HealthcareForAll
May 10, 2025 at 3:36 AM
@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Kim et al. (2018) demonstrate how socioeconomic disparity continues to influence maternal health outcomes even in nations with universal healthcare. This is not simply a U.S. issue; it is a global one. #GlobalHealthJustice
May 10, 2025 at 3:36 AM
@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj #PlaceMatters Neighborhood matters: studies by Pawar et al. (2023) indicate that poorer maternal health outcomes are associated with lower neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES). Communities are at stake here, not just individuals.

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj #immigrantjustice The obstacles are much more severe for migrants, refugees, and unauthorized individuals. Many people are afraid to go to clinics without insurance or legal status, and others are just turned away. This is policy-shrouded violence

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Medicaid, which was designed as a safety net, turns into a labyrinth of obstacles, including a lack of providers, restricted coverage, and lengthy bureaucratic processes. Lives are lost as a result of these delays.We need to insist on Medicaid reform +expansion.

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Michelle Alexander's *The New Jim Crow* serves as a reminder that Black, Brown, and impoverished communities are disproportionately affected by systems of control. This includes healthcare inequality. #BlackMaternalHealth

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Pregnancy and poverty are dangerously combined. Longer wait times, fewer doctors, overworked hospitals, and occasionally outright denial of care are all problems for those living in poverty. This cannot be accepted as the norm. #MaternalJustice
