“We need to be increasing care,” said Cecilia Sorensen, the director of the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education at Columbia University. “Anything that’s going to decrease access to women’s health care, whether that be for abortions or prenatal care or anything, is going to not be a good thing in the setting of climate change.”Communities of color are disproportionately impacted by both climate change and a lack of access to medical care.
The paused Texas law mandates that people cannot have an abortion after six weeks. That’s just two weeks after someone with a consistent menstrual cycle misses their period. With storms like Ida, some communities,in southern Louisiana, will still be recovering four weeks later. With little time for anything besides physically rebuilding their lives, paying close attention to one’s body can fall by the wayside.
