Mimi	Reflecting on Equity in Perinatal Care During a Pandemic	2020-07-28		.txt	text/plain	1892	94	46	The explicit lack of standardization of evidence-based maternity care, whether expressed in clinical protocols or institutional policy, has disproportionately impacted marginalized communities. We conducted a thoughtful review of the available literature regarding COVID-19, in the framework of existing literature on equitable maternity care that centers the lived experiences of birthing people. To date, research about maternity care during COVID-19 has been restricted to small case studies, which is warranted as little is known about this virus. Professional organizations, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) or the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM), have yet to address or understand the potential long-term health impacts of the overuse of interventions during this pandemic. A policy of no support persons unduly impacts marginalized communities and implicitly reinforces the ''sacrificial'' or expendable status of Black and indigenous parents, who have long borne the consequences of mistreatment and abandonment in their health care experiences.	./cache/cord-331995-7113c613.txt	./txt/cord-331995-7113c613.txt
