Health inequality isn’t abstract.
It shows up in real lives—every day.

This week on The Women’s Current, we’re joined by journalist and author Irin Carmon, whose latest book Unbearable: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America reveals what happens when pregnancy collides with policy, politics, and power.

Through the stories of five women, Irin exposes a system that too often fails the very people it was meant to protect.

What emerges is not a collection of rare tragedies—

but a pattern.
