‘The nurse told me I couldn’t keep my baby’: how a controversial Danish ‘parenting test’ separated a Greenlandic woman from her children
Two hours after Keira Alexandra Kronvold gave birth, her daughter was taken from her – the third child to be removed from her care following a now-banned assessment that disproportionately targets Inuit women in Denmark. Will she win the fight to get Zammi back?

Planned Parenthood provides lots of medical care to people that have nothing to do with abortion. They're a much needed care provider to poor women. South Carolina’s law not only targets abortion rights, but also attacks poor women whose only crime is being poor.
