Our Pledge to Support Black Lives

Our Pledge to Support Black Lives
May 29, 2020Articles

Fertility practices and providers across our country are uniting with a pledge to support black lives.

Racism is a public health crisis and we need to address this now and together.
⁣⁣
We are committing to address the glaring health disparities of black women in our field of assisted reproduction.
⁣⁣⁣
Compared to women of other ethnicities, Black women are:⁣
⁣⁣⁣
– 2x more likely to have trouble conceiving⁣⁣⁣
– 50% less likely to seek care⁣⁣⁣
– More likely to suffer from tubal factor infertility and uterine fibroids⁣⁣⁣
– Have a reduced chance of live birth, even after IVF⁣⁣⁣
– Have the lowest percentage of first-trimester prenatal care initiation ⁣⁣⁣
– Have a higher risk of pregnancy complications including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and placental disorders⁣⁣⁣
– 3x more likely to suffer pregnancy-related mortality
⁣
Today we are committing to do better.
We have to do better.
We C A N do better.
To hold each other accountable
⁣To use our skills to educate and advocate
We stand together in support
