Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush riled up her online critics on Thursday when she referred to women as "birthing people" during a congressional hearing
Bush shared a video of the hearing to her Twitter page with the caption, "Every day, Black birthing people and our babies die because our doctors don’t believe our pain. My children almost became a statistic. I almost became a statistic. I testified about my experience @OversightDems today. Hear us. Believe us. Because for so long, nobody has." The remark set off a fierce reaction on social media. Critics chastised Bush for reducing women to a "function" with her use of the term.More Related News
