In this replay episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks about disability justice in birth and parenting with Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu, a Mad, Disabled, multidisciplinary care strategist/worker, educator, psychiatric survivor, healing practitioner, and founder and director of Project LETS. Together, they explore what disability justice is and how it connects to reproductive justice, from the history of forced sterilization to the ways disabled parents are penalized for both accessing and not accessing care. Stefanie also shares how ableism showed up in their own pregnancy, in both medical and alternative care settings, and why everyone who supports birth and parenting needs a basic understanding of disability and mental health. Content warning: We mention self-injury, disability, neuro-divergent, eugenics, reproductive trauma, ableism, epilepsy, seizures, trauma, sexual violence, medical violence, and history of sterilization. &amp;nbsp; Connect with Stefanie Lyn Kaufman Becoming Disabled Again for BAD Birth and Disability Course with Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings Crisis Response for Birthworkers Disability in the Family: A Course for Parents + Caregivers &amp;nbsp; For more information about Evidence Based Birth and a crash course on evidence based care, visit&amp;nbsp;www.ebbirth.com.
