Reading Tori Bowie’s obituary was shocking and sad for the exact reason you pinpointed here. If isolation during pregnancy hadn’t left her so vulnerable, she may have faced birth, nursing, round the clock childcare, postpartum bodily changes and all of that on her own, too. That’s the future for so many American women and girls - no support while they attempt the hardest, most consequential thing they’ve ever had to do. Shame on this country. RIP Tori.
