A midwifery clinic owner wants to open Mississippi's first birth center. She and other advocates say that amid the abortion debate, nothing is being done to support women, particularly Black moms, in the state with the highest infant death rate.
. In particular, Israel wants Sisters in Birth to address any health disparities before patients — many of whom are at risk for complications given demographics and prior lack of access to care — give birth and offer them social support.
“They know me by name when I walk in,” she said. “You don’t have to remind them who you are and what you’re going through.” Israel wants to hire more midwives, for a total of four, and offer training. She also plans a cabin for women to stay so they’re on site and supported before labor.Although Sisters in Birth does not provide abortions — the clinic generally doesn’t counsel women on them, either, as the focus is providing services to women who want to give birth — Israel expects that if abortion banned, she’ll see an increase in patients.
