Absolutely stunned to hear that USA has the most maternal deaths in the world.

And that 4 times as many black women die than white women.

"In fact black women are 243% more likely to die from a pregnancy than a white woman."

That was a quote by Joe Kennedy iii

So i looked it up in the uk and black women here are also 4 times as more likely to die, and asian women twice as likely to die.

What can be done to safeguard these women?

Money. It takes money. But aren’t their lives worth it? They are to me.

@JustGoneNow it's not money though, "a wealthy black woman with a degree is still more likely to die than a white woman with no high school diploma"

Another quote from Joe Kennedy iii

@BabyLonia institutional bias, maybe. that’s the only thing I can think of to account for the difference. but that’s a problem too. big problem.
