Intimate partner violence is endemic in our society but there are no easy solutions. And pregnancy and birth often trigger fatal violence. If you are pregnant and being physically or emotionally abused by a partner or are afraid of being harmed by your partner, or they are expressing that they don’t want you to have a child, continue a pregnancy, make a safety plan, talk with your friends and family and law enforcement.

A Texas man is at large after allegedly killing a woman who was eight months pregnant with his baby, according to authorities.

Ashanti Allen, a 23-year-old Houston woman, was reported missing on April 10, Houston police said.

On Thursday, police said a woman was found dead near a Houston community center. Police did not confirm the identity, but the family confirmed the victim was Allen, and Texas EquuSearch said the victim is believed to be Allen and her unborn child, Jackson.

The father of her baby, 24-year-old Kevin Faux, is charged with murder, police said, noting that Faux is not in custody.

Today marks the beginning of Black Maternal Health Week. The theme is Rooted in Justice and Joy.

The day started with prepping our weekly meals that everyone who comes into the clinic, leaves with. The middle was spent enjoying the glorious weather and planting flowers in front of the collective with the help of a sweet friend. And ended delivering another 30 meals to our unhoused community in Christina Park.

Our own beloved clinical director. Mama Michelle Drew!

Today we celebrate abortion providers. Their compassion, brilliance, and bravery make it possible for people to access care that is safe, dignified, and life-affirming.

In a climate where that care is under attack, showing up as an abortion provider is an act of courage. Independent clinics in particular carry that weight every single day, often with limited resources and without the backing of larger health systems.

On National Abortion Provider Appreciation Day, BMMA stands with every provider, every clinic, and every person working to ensure that reproductive care remains accessible for Black Mamas, birthing people, and all who need it.

Today, March 10 at 12pm ET, Abortion Care Network is hosting a virtual Abortion Provider Appreciation Day webinar featuring independent clinic staff sharing the work they do, the challenges they face, and what makes them feel celebrated. Visit ACN to register!

One of the most direct ways to show appreciation is to fund the work. Donate to independent clinics at keepourclinics.org/donate.
