Under Obamacare, black women “have insurmountable challenges just getting health care in this country.”
And you don’t have to take my word for that.
NBC News just reported: (the bolding is mine)
Black women are underserved when it comes to birth control access. The Roe decision could make that worse.
Discrimination, stigma and systemic barriers in the health care system have already led to a gap in contraceptive access for Black women.
The Supreme Court’s ruling to gut nationwide rights to abortion last week has highlighted the importance of access to birth control, which already proves difficult for many women of color due to discrimination, stigma and systemic barriers in the health care system.
While the decision does not directly impact access to contraception, legal experts say that states and municipalities that are aiming to ban abortion at the point of conception may also challenge contraceptives like Plan B and intrauterine devices. Some state legislators have already taken steps to try to restrict birth control. In Tennessee, U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a Republican, earlier this year called Griswold v. Connecticut, the 1965 case that ensured birth control access to individuals who were married, “constitutionally unsound.” (A spokesperson for Blackburn told The Washington Post in June that she “does not support banning birth control, nor did she call for a ban.”)
“The hardest burden is going to largely fall on Black women who already have insurmountable challenges just getting health care in this country,” Jennifer Driver, senior director of reproductive rights for the State Innovation Exchange, a national resource and strategy center, said about the impact of the decision. “And now it’s going to be even harder.”
So there you have it. NBC quoted a health care expert as saying that, “Black women who already have insurmountable challenges just getting health care in this country.”
Obamacare has been in effect since 2014.
What percentage of black women voted for Obama? Well, the Washington Post reported:
“… black women have been Obama’s most loyal supporters at the ballot box. They accounted for 60 percent of all black voters in 2008 and supported Obama to the tune of 96 percent. In 2012, 98 percent of black women under 30 voted for Obama, compared to 80 percent of young black men.”
So 96% of black women voted for Obama in his first election.
And 98% of black women under 30 voted for Obama in his second election.
Liberals refer to this as “diversity.”
But I don’t see any “diversity” there.
Instead, all I see is conformity.
Anyway, the fact that under Obamacare, black women “have insurmountable challenges just getting health care in this country,” is a direct result of the fact that elections have consequences.
The vast majority of black women voted for the President who gave them Obamacare.
So the fact that these same black women “have insurmountable challenges just getting health care in this country” is a direct result of their own voting choices.
The Democrat Party is a criminal organization which is rapidly becoming a terrorist organziation.
I really don’t give a damn about black women. Their problems are a result of their actions and inactions.
Abstinence is free and available to all.
Sounds like Barry Soetoro who put these “insurmountable challenges” in the way of black women. It isn’t anything Republcans or white people did. Neanderthals came up with the ObamaCare fiasco.
Anti American traitors. If they hate America so bad, just get the bleep out already.
Obamacare was never intended to give anyone healthcare but they sold the voters on that big lie. It was designed to give democrats power just like everything else they do.
Obamacare has nothing to do with contraception anyway. It’s merely an income tax.

Do black women have blogs like you, Dan?
I’ll bet that, as a class, their blogs are better than yours.
But then, I could chug a couple cans of alphabet soup
and puke up a better blog than yours, so.....
More likely it is not a fact at all, but a cynical attempt by a “senior director of reproductive rights” and NBC News to cry racism for more money and clicks.
Not reading your stuff any more Dan.
Exactly. Leftists are masters of bumpy sticker rhetoric posing as thought
Getting a Pap smear is healthcare.
Getting an abortion for convenience sake (which a very high percentage are) is elective surgery; not health care.
What? Black women can’t find a nearby emergency room?
There is no beginning to my surprise and shock to learn this.
After looking through the posts down thread, It appears as though Freepers are having a hard time with comprehension.
I’ve lived over 28 years straight without health care cost coverage, except for two federally-funded Covid jabs and one federally-funded flu jab.
