[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is ridiculous. You may want to look at the maternal morbidity rates in Virginia and DC. [b]They are HIGHER than the rate in Texas.[/b] This is NOT about abortion and you do a disservice by implying that it is to many women. Know your risk. Black women in particular need to know they may be at higher risk, particularly for hypertension,  even without the comorbidities as the woman in the article, even without a history of HBP.
It is a small number of women and with good medical care this can be managed, so no need to be more stressed or anxious. But know your risk and make sure you go regularly to your OB appointments.[/quote]
By a squeaker, not by some huge gulf.

And yeah cons’ feelings about abortion and the attending contempt for women are at the heart of maternal mortality. You guys do not think women are people (and I won’t even commit to writing down what you clearly think of non White women).

This whole thread has been a festival of forced birthers and their crap politics. “Nuh uh, ‘taint muh fault she died or any other woman might! It’s naught tuh do with me. Here’s why it’s her fault and his fault and the fault of the Democrats!…” You guys are the thought equivalent of an older sibling beating the dish out of a sibling and saying “stop hitting yourself.”[/quote]

In addition to DC, the top five states with the highest severe maternal morbidity rates were California, Nevada, New Jersey, and New York, while Maryland, Rhode Island, Nebraska, and New Hampshire joined Utah as the states with the lowest rates.

You read the chart wrong. The worst states for maternal mortality are Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana. Then Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina and Arizona.[/quote]

Where You Live Determines Risk of Severe Pregnancy, Postpartum Complications
A new study found that Washington, DC had the highest rate of severe maternal morbidity in the country—nearly three times as high as Utah, the state with the lowest rate.

Published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, the study examined maternal health outcomes among Medicaid insurance recipients and found that rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM), or “near miss” deaths, varied substantially by state and by race/ethnicity.

Across the country, SMM rates were highest in Washington, DC, at 200 cases per 10,000 live births—nearly three times as high as Utah, the state with the lowest SMM rate, at 80 cases per 10,000 live births

No, it’s a different study. Severe Maternal Morbidity, DC- a liberal utopia- has the highest rates.
