Reproductive rights are Disability rights Hoodie

Abortion rights are disability rights. Disabled people are already facing their own health problems. Carrying a child can be risky and life threatening for both the mother and child. We already have limited access to health care, tele-health appointments, transportation etc. It’s forcing poverty to a marginalized group who already struggles greatly financially. Disabled people aren’t able to move or travel to another state to have an abortion where they are still legal. Disabled people are more likely to be raped. Forcing someone to carry an unwanted child or a child out of rape from their abuser is inhumane. Black disabled people are at even greater risk. Black women are already the highest for maternal death and poverty rates.
