Guess who has addiction to alcohol, tobacco, drugs.... and sugar. Yes sugar. Moms who die were raised from babies with far more sugar in their diet than the average person, who already uses too much sugar. They feed their babies sugar .... and they die.
And then of course, there is alcohol, tobacco, drugs (legal and illegal). These are the factors that push deaths high.
The solution is not more medicaid. The solution is to convert these people to be Seventh Day Adventist... Like Ben Carson. Good lifestyle is what they need.
I’m pretty sure they’re going to recommend more abortion “access.”
I wonder whether these figures include a comparison of marriage status.
That’s been known for decades to have a huge factor in health outcomes - not to mention poverty and imprisonment rates - no matter how much the government pays.
I'd be willing to bet that obesity, drugs, alcohol, and lousy diets account for this.
But it's racism, not bad life choices. Got it.

It isn’t just that. Look at average/median ages. Weight.
Somewhere, somebody needs to take some personal responsibility.

When they don’t care about themselves, it’s very hard to convince ME to give a damn.
Racism

Do they breakdown the causes of death?
U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath of Marietta
Absurd hypocrisy coming from a rabid Pro Abortion politician
Just desperately trying to take the focus off her 2 year role as Pelosi’s rubber stamp from GA. GA medical care issues are the concern of local GA Reps, not the US Congress.
She worried about local healthcare? She should resign and run for the GA Legislature or Governor.
No, government does NOT need to “do more”.
Parents, though, should actually do proper parenting.
And schools should actually teach worthwhile things.
None of this requires MORE government. it requires existing parents and existing institutions to stop half-assing it, be responsible and actually do their already-tasked jobs.
Yes, food companies notoriously market crap to the black community. Watch CharlieBo313 videos on YouTube, always showing them buying garbage at the convenience store.

Do you want to help them or hurt them?
“36.0% of all abortions in the U.S. in 2014 were performed on Black women, however, only about 13.3% of the total population is Black”
Ever heard of Birth Ccontrol pills or an IUD?
I think higher diabetes rates may be a factor. Also even when free or reduced prenatal care is available pregnant some woman might not take advantage of it.
It’s not about access. It’s about who gets stuck paying for services rendered. Certain people think they are entitled to force others to pay their bills.
Once again, all things in a vacuum.
What is the socioeconomic and marital status of these mothers and children. Is the mortality rate the same % within the same socioeconomic and marital status?
What are the ages of these mothers? First child or multiple children?
What percentage of each group is in excellent/good/poor health?
Did all receive the same prenatal care and follow prescribed protocols?
Generalizations create headlines but do not point to the specific cause and circumstance in order to attack a problem with a workable solution.
Indeed a sad state for an America that values life, but there are solutions! Let us pray the nation’s leaders may bow the knee before Almighty God and seek His wisdom to save these precious babies and preserve the health of their mothers. Amen
I think that abortion is the elephant in the room here. A history of previous abortion is as damaging to a pregnancy as smoking, causing premature births and miscarriages. Smoking can be stopped, but a woman cannot go into the past and undo her previous decision to get pregnant despite having no intention to have the baby alive. The damage of abortion is permanent. And black women are especially targeted by the abortion industry.
, “What black women in the U.S. need is accountability. We need to know that our lives are valued. This accountability may be complicated, but government still has an obligation to act. Racism, classism and gender oppression are killing all of us, from rural to urban America.”
It ain’t whitie impregnating your dumb ass. It’s attitude and apathy. Don’t give a shit, then you live like shit. As for accountability, you keep voting for the same Democrap idiots over and over. They don’t care! Even the black people that you vote for the first thing they look to do is move into a rich white neighborhood. You don’t hold them accountable because you stop caring. See a ‘D’ and pull the lever like Pavlov’s dog. You’ll get change when they know they can’t rely on you as a token voter!
Too many young females getting pregnant and not going for prenatal care
