Nearly 1 in 13 Black babies are born with sickle cell trait. This is a racial health equity issue. I'm proud to join the Sickle Cell Disease Congressional Caucus headed by @RepBarbaraLee & @RepDannyDavis to raise awareness on this important issue. cdc.gov/ncbddd/sicklec…
@RepCori @EmmaVigeland @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis That’s not an important issue at all
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis It has been days and you have yet to say Kailee’s name. Don’t make everything about race. You are a cancer to St. Louis and America.
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis 50% of black babies are never born. Margaret Sanger would be happy, are you?
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis Now list all the other race related diseases…. There are a lot of them…
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis Nearly 1 in 20 black babies DIE BEFORE THEY ARE BORN FROM ABORTION By far the highest rate. Yet you cheer for these deaths 😡
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis Sickle Cell evolved as an adaptation trait to protect the body against malaria. Complain to Darwin.
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis Representing all but those who aren’t black in America. Sorry for other races or ethnicities. This ain’t your rep!
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis Sickle cell has been around for centuries so blame mother nature for that...as well as the fact it originated in Africa and provides immunity to malaria. Natural selection perhaps?
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis It's nature, it sucks, but do you support medicine to treat it, or DNA manipulation to "fix" the genetic issue?
@RepCori @RepBarbaraLee @RepDannyDavis WE DEMAND EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF SICKLE CELLS NOW!!!!
