Next year, CHOICES Memphis Center for Reproductive Health will open the first non-profit clinic in the U.S. providing both birth and abortion services under the same roof.
The road to a truly comprehensive reproductive health practice has been long, winding and full of potholes. I could not be more proud that in April, we’ll finally get there.
At the same time, I was so impressed by the patient-centered and respectful care CHOICES provided to our patients. I remember thinking that everyone deserved this type of care. We soon started asking ourselves what else we could provide, and who else we could serve. One day, when I was searching for stock photos for our website, and was mostly seeing many pictures of happy mothers and babies, I had another thought:Birth is part of feminist health care. We should take that back.
. It was clear that birthing women of color were either not being seen or heard, or else their stated intentions and desires were being discounted.—one that was more personal and more relationship-based, much like the abortion care that we were already providing. While Memphis had some outstanding home-birth midwives, it did not have a birthing center, and soon, bringing this choice to birthing people, especially to people of color, became a critical part of our mission.
