Experts told Newsweek Barrett's remarks suggesting adoption alleviates the need for abortions ignores the burden of making a woman carry a pregnancy to term.
"Both Roe and Casey emphasize the burdens of parenting, and insofar as you and many of your amici focus on the ways in which forced parenting, forced motherhood, would hinder women's access to the workplace and to equal opportunities, it's also focused on the consequences of parenting and the obligations of motherhood that flow from pregnancy," Barrett, who has two adopted children, said.
"Every pregnancy is a risk to the pregnant woman's life," Paltrow said, adding that the U.S. has a"ridiculously high" maternal mortality rate along with no universal healthcare or paid parental leave. While pregnancy discrimination in the workplace has been illegal in the U.S. since 1978, a 2019 investigation byfound that"many of the country's largest and most prestigious companies still systematically sideline pregnant women."
The suggestion of Barrett's remarks was that it"is okay to force a woman to carry an unwanted unexpected pregnancy to term in order to benefit some other person," Howell continued."This is what they did in slavery... Black women were forced to give birth to more children who were then sold into slavery or who were kept to benefit the people who owned her."
