Democrat U.S. Congresswoman Summer Lee from Pittsburgh said:

“We continue to have a Black maternal health crisis. Black mothers and infants face health outcomes that are dramatically worse than White families, and far higher than in comparable cities nationwide.”
She makes an excellent point.
So I did some research, and came across this information.
I’d be very curious to hear what Summer Lee has to say about this information.

… an analysis of maternal deaths from 2018 through 2023…
Among 7,901 maternal deaths over this 6-year period, the leading cause was unintentional drug overdose, accounting for 1,152 deaths (5.2 deaths per 100,000 live births), followed by violence, defined as homicide or suicide (866 deaths; 3.9 deaths per 100,000 live births), reported Hooman A. Azad, MD, MPH, of Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, and co-authors.

Posting facts about drug overdose and violence & homicide are....(all together now)...racist!
Raysis.
Drugs and homicide are about 25% of their total deaths.
Would like to see statistics for the general population.
Doesn’t Summer Lee sound like an implausible name for a men’s magazine centerfold model or a pole dancer in a club?
Changed from something like Myrtle Labubsilanemm Grbble.
And more baby killings by percent too. Nobody includes abortion.
