I posted this on the thread on the most recent murder of a teen that was pregnant:
Bad enough Texas infant mortality rate keeps getting worse and worse, the maternity mortality rate is skyrocketing under Trump/Abbot/GOP. All due to this crap-ass morality police legislation. Hold my beer, Tehran.
"The bellwether state is Texas, the only state to impose its abortion ban as early as September 2021, even before the Supreme Court's June 2022 ruling
The maternal mortality rate rose by 56% in Texas from 2019 through 2022, the figures show, well exceeding the national increase of 11%. The rate for Black women rose by 38% and for Hispanic women by 30%.
What was especially striking, Cohen told me, was that the maternal mortality rate for white women in Texas nearly doubled in 2019-22, while rising by only 6% nationwide."
