As much as sexist cultures seem to want women to be pregnant more often, they also have a habit of reducing the health care available to pregnant women. Where are most pregnant American women dying? Poor communities, yes, but particularly poor communities in Texas, the American South, and Minnesota. These are all places where women’s access to health care and health education has been dramatically reduced in recent years through antiabortion campaigns, abstinence-only education policies, and a simultaneous series of cuts to publicly funded health clinics.
