(They don’t call it ransom, of course, but when someone takes away your child and makes you pay money to get the child back, anything else is a euphemism). Federal law has always been more flexible about this than states let on.

There is plentiful evidence of the long history of systemic racism , gender disparities , and inequitable treatment in healthcare. It can be discouraging to consider what a single person can do to make up for decades of disadvantages.
