From the early introduction of slavery to the United States, not only did the economic prosperity of slavery depend on extracting reproductive labor from Black birthing people, but so did the field of medicine.

Our Constitution, as it is and as it has been interpreted by our courts, serves white supremacy.

Yet, in its debut in Supreme Court... |
