There might be a reason for Black Women having difficult or dangerous births and it isn’t race.......

It’s culture.

Speaking only as a Detroit ghetto Medic (what we’re called) I can say prenatal care is extremely low. Many cases no ultra sound, no Doctor visit at all despite these woman having Medicaid and don’t need to pay anything for care and treatment.

When EMS is called, we arrive to a woman in heavy labor, or beginning to birth......she has no idea if she’s carrying twins, a breach, or when the baby is due.

If they should have a C-Section......oh well, too late now. She’s birthin’ this baby.

That’s why black woman have more complications during child birth.

What are the numbers for folks of Jamaican heritage?

Indian (subcontinent) heritage?

The “blacks” she speaks of have nothing to do with her background—nothing.

Scar tissue from dozens of previous abortions can't help. Drug use like meth, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl only make matters worse. Booze is a major problem. These are self inflicted wounds. Not knowing who the father is must be extremely disconcerting. These are lifestyle choices which have nothing to do with racism. Bad choices have consequences.

Terence McKenna was brilliant on this point--(paraphrasing)--"Nowhere is it written that hairless apes are entitled to _know_ anything."

He also pointed out that those who are most certain they _know_ things are most likely to be totally wrong about those things.

History has been brutal to those who claimed they "knew" the right answer.

My daughter has been a NICU nurse for 8 years. She would tell you that they are more likely to die in connection with child birth because of drug addiction issues. Just sayin’ maybe Kamala should explore what the real causes of death are for these women.

She might also chart out, how much out of pocket $$ is a black woman likely to pay for prenatal, labor, and delivery care vs a Caucasian woman? That would likely produce some interesting results.

“Is that why Kamala never bore children?”

Kameltoe Hair@$$ never figured out that oral sex wouldn’t get her pregnant.

“Kamala Harris on Tuesday said black women in the US are more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications because of “systemic racial inequities.””

Okay then, let history record that it happened on VP Harris’s watch. You go, girl!

This does not seem to apply, at all, to hispanic women or babies however. It does not seem to be related to poverty either. A curious situation.

Not so. Black birthrates are below hispanic, and are trending to white levels.

Or muscle control - as in keeping your legs together after Deshawqua gets out of prison.
