This research employs a qualitative historical analysis, focusing on the intersection of race, gender, and reproductive health policies from the early 1800s to 2024, with a particular emphasis on the residual effects of discriminatory policies like Jim Crow. Through a comparative case study approach encompassing Mississippi, Virginia, and Maryland, the study seeks to clarify the impact of segregation and desegregation on racial disparities in reproductive health outcomes, as well as differential experiences of reproductive healthcare criminalization between Black and White women. Furthermore, by bridging historical contexts with contemporary realities, this study aims to better understand the complex interplay between racial discrimination and reproductive healthcare access in the United States post-Roe v. Wade.
