Abstract
This thesis is centered around Black maternal health disparities and the impact of Roe v Wade being overturned on the future of Black maternal health. I start off by first looking at the facts of maternal health disparities and how Black women are dying at a higher rate than their White counterparts. Then I draw on social determinants of health and how systemic racism plays a role in the health disparities we see today. I bring in literature that discusses different frameworks created to reduce the maternal health disparities gap. I use the literature to argue that more initiatives need to be done since the gap is still increasing. My intention for this thesis is to bring light to some solutions that may help decrease the maternal health disparities and highlight how Roe v Wade being overturned can cause a larger harm in Black maternal health.
