Digital billboards in Miami, Orange
County and Denver call
attention to the lack of support for mothers
MIAMI, April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- While many Americans
determine their stance on access to abortion, a main topic of the
2024 presidential election, three new billboards alongside some of
America's most traveled roads pose a new question: Do all women
have Equal Access to Motherhood? The billboards direct people to a
website that highlights a new movement for women—one that fully
supports women to be a mother, both physically and emotionally.
Equal Access to Motherhood means a woman has the support she
needs to be a mom including:
- Easy-to-access care in pregnancy and beyond
- Empowerment to become the mom she most aspires to be
- Confidence to raise her child, choose to foster, or choose
adoption
- Support to pursue motherhood and career, college,
or other dreams
The movement points out that a woman must be fully equipped to
be a mom, including having access to healthcare in pregnancy and
beyond. As more than 5.6 million women in the U.S. lack access to
maternity care, the new movement suggests that healthcare deserts
need to be addressed for women to have their needs met and have
Equal Access to Motherhood.
In addition to healthcare, Equal Access to Motherhood means
social support for mothers to pursue their dreams alongside
motherhood, the choice to foster or adopt, and the opportunity to
become the mothers they want to be. According to a study on why
women get abortions by Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood's
research group, 76% of women felt that having a baby would
interfere with their education or employment. If women feel
empowered to be able to be both a mother and pursue their other
aspirations like college, a career, or other dreams, then they will
truly have Equal Access to Motherhood.
