The Hidden Agenda: How Attacks on Reproductive Rights and DEI Are Destroying Careers
The hidden connection between attacks on reproductive rights and DEI isn’t just about rights—it’s about jobs.
80–90% of the reproductive healthcare workforce is made up of women, including obstetricians, gynecologists, midwives, and other birth workers.
Scaling back DEI initiatives has been shown to increase workplace discrimination complaints by 25% and stall pay equity efforts.
Women-dominated healthcare fields, like reproductive healthcare, are targeted twice as often for restrictions compared to other sectors.
Spoiler: These attacks aren’t just limiting rights—they’re eliminating career paths.
The attack on reproductive rights is another way to hurt women not only personally, but professionally. The attack on DEI is a way to hurt minorities not only personally, but professionally.
These attacks systematically:
Target fields where marginalized groups have gained leadership.
Eliminate jobs where they’ve built expertise.
Dismantle career ladders they’ve spent decades building.
Force professionals to choose between values and stability.
