Meaning
This reads as a moral claim that care for pregnancy and childbirth is not a luxury, but a basic right. It can be taken to mean that safety, treatment, and support for mothers should not depend on status or income. The line lands sharply in discussions of public health access, especially when someone is deciding whether a system protects women before, during, and after pregnancy.
