Black women are three times more likely to die from complications of pregnancy and two times more likely to experience severe maternal morbidity. These outcomes are driven by systemic, structural, interpersonal, and internalized racism, and sexism, exacerbated by the US socio-political context, inequitable social and health policies, and algorithmic oppression (AO). We ask: What is the impact of algorithmic bias/oppression/racism on birth inequities? How can public and institutional policies mitigate algorithmic bias/oppression/racism? An intersectional antiracism framework was utilized to examine and evaluate actions and provide recommendations related to ameliorating AO.
