'Poor women, women of color will die,' KamalaHarris said.
Restrictive abortion laws will result in the deaths of poor women and women of color, suggested Sen. Kamala Harris during a defense of women’s reproductive rights at Tuesday night’s presidential debate between the Democratic hopefuls.
About three in four women who obtained abortions in 2014 were poor or low-income, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive-health think tank that supports abortion rights. More than half of abortion patients are also women of color, with black women accounting for 28% of abortion procedures in 2014 and Hispanic women accounting for 25%.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court in coming months will hear arguments on the case June Medical Services v. Gee, which centers on a Louisiana law mandating that abortion providers have admitting privileges at a local hospital — the court’s first major abortion-rights case since Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The Supreme Court previously held in the 2016 case Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt that a similar such provision in Texas was unconstitutional.
Carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term is associated with serious health risks, according to a 2016 study published in the peer-reviewed journal Women’s Health Issues, a publication of George Washington University’s Jacobs Institute of Women’s Health, which focuses on women’s reproductive and health issues.
