Dr. Pierre Johnson not only works as a women’s healthcare professional, but he also utilizes his social media platform to inform women of their power to choose the types of procedures they have, especially as it relates to fibroid removal. Given his moral compass around patient choice, he has been frustrated with the recent Supreme Court decision that essentially removes this type of power from most women in the country.

“It’s a political agenda that’s not very well thought out,” Dr. Johnson told Blavity. “There’s a lack of input from actual medical professionals who actually deal with patients. I just think it’s an agenda-driven decision that’s going to harm women, specifically our community of Black women. I’m shocked by it, but in these days and times, what can be shocking anymore? It’s definitely a jaw-dropping, eye-opening decision for me.”
