LZ Granderson: The American medical establishment is upholding a racist, defeatist, and racist philosophy

The American medical establishment markets itself as a champion for all patients’ dignity and pretends to be an ally of marginalized women.

In its passionate support of abortion, in the very arguments it uses to justify that support, the medical establishment is actually upholding a destructive, defeatist, and racist philosophy.

The New England Journal of Medicine published an article calling abortion access a racial justice issue.

The AMA and the New England Journal of Medicine are not wrong to point out the real hardships that many pregnant women face in this country.

But their insistence that impoverished and marginalized women will be better off if they can abort their babies is racist and classist.

Why not invest resources into researching and addressing the causes of pregnancy complications and maternal mortality among black women?.
