[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sad. There was an article I recently read about how black women die disproportionately to white women after childbirth and it does not matter what their socioeconomic status is. Another example.[/quote] That was this NPR series. The black woman who died was actually working in this health field and it didn't help her. https://www.npr.org/2017/12/07/568948782/black-mothers-keep-dying-after-giving-birth-shalon-irvings-story-explains-why [/quote] Maybe there are more than just one story on this maternal health crisis? There was definitely a ProPublica story and there hve been many stories about DC’s own crisis. [/quote] The ProPublica article is part of a series being done jointly with NPR. There have been several installments as well as a page called "Lost Mothers" capturing the individual stories of as many of the women who died in 2016 whose families they have been able to track down.[/quote]
