    Irin Carmon: Power. Control. Consequence.

    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.
