        I mean, you’re kind of right? It is much worse for black women though. The rate’s of infant and maternal mortality are shockingly higher for them, let alone other health outcomes. As well you’ve got the case of Adriana Smith, which yes, could absolutely happen to a white woman. However, it’s not really surprising the case they used to normalise the concept was a black woman.
