Top NYC health official sparks outrage after she refers to whites as 'birthing people' but calls pregnant blacks and Hispanics 'mothers' in tweet

On March 23 Dr. Michelle Morse, the first medical officer at the NYC Department of Health tweeted about the expansion of a new citywide 'birth equity' initiative

In her tweets Morse refers to one group of moms by the woke term 'birthing people' and black and Hispanics as 'mothers'

'Mortality rates of birthing people are too high, and babies born to Black and Puerto Rican mothers in this city are three times more likely to die in their first year of life than babies born to non-Hispanic White birthing people,' she tweeted

Morse was accused of being divisive and separating mothers due to their race, with white mothers falling into the 'birthing people' category

'If you're wondering why trust in the medical profession is rapidly eroding, this tweet is a great place to start, someone tweeted.
