'Antiracism and Healthy Equity Center' claims 'birthing people' are at higher risk of premature deliveries in over-policed neighborhoods
2021-12-17
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] University of Minnesota School of Public Health (SPH) on December 8 published a report into premature births in certain Minneapolis communities

  • It is titled: 'Association of Residence in High–Police Contact Neighborhoods With Preterm Birth Among Black and White Individuals in Minneapolis'

  • Rachel Hardeman, director of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity at the university, said her findings were damning

  • She found that 'birthing people' - both black and white - in heavily-policed areas had a significantly raised chance of preterm birth

  • Hardeman reported that white 'birthing people' living in 'high police contact areas' had a 90% higher chance of preterm birth versus different parts of the city

  • Among black Americans, it was a 100% higher chance of preterm birth compared to residents in what are deemed 'low-contact areas'

  • Foreign-born black residents of 'high police contact areas' had a far lower chance of preterm birth than those born in the U.S.

  • Hardeman's use of the term 'birthing people' is part of a growing trend, as people attempt to be more inclusive and socially aware

  • Critics have said it is nonsense to avoid the term 'mothers', because only those born female can give birth

#4  Seems to me, in over-policed areas, rather than premature birthulation, little Davontious would be too shy to come out.

She found that 'birthing people' - both black and white - in heavily-policed areas had a significantly raised chance of preterm birth

I wouldn't trust stats from anyone using the phrase 'birthing people'. Could it be that "areas of high police contact" are run-down, crime-ridden neighborhoods where people don't spend a lot of time or money on healthcare?

#3  Whereas "non birthing people" have approximately zero premature deliveries. Odd, that...

#2  Yeah, I don't suppose 'non-birthing' people have a problem with pizza showing up early, anywhere.

#1  Hardeman's use of the term 'birthing people' is part of a growing trend, as people are dumb as a puddle of mud fucked by retards attempt to be more inclusive and socially aware
