Post-Dobbs Deaths
A new study from the Gender Equity Policy Institute (GEPI) found that women are twice as likely to die during pregnancy in states with abortion bans. Twice as likely.

Meanwhile, maternal mortality in pro-choice states fell 21%. One stark comparison from the study: Texas’ maternal mortality rate was 155% higher than California’s.

Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on #DrugUse, #MaternalMortality, #ClimateChange and More

U.S. maternal mortality rate increased 27% over five years, NIH study finds
Amid government cuts, findings show the need to ‘increase investment,’ author says

A new U.S. government paper documenting an increase in maternal mortality from 2018 to 2022 does not hedge in its conclusion, calling the issue “an urgent public health priority.” That it was published amid massive job and funding cuts at federal health agencies charged with reducing these deaths has not escaped notice.

"The new analysis comes as #Texas legislators consider amending the #abortionban in the wake of ProPublica’s previous reporting, and as doctors, federal lawmakers and the state’s largest newspaper have urged Texas officials to review pregnancy-related deaths from the first full years after the ban was enacted; the state #maternalmortality review committee has, thus far, opted not to examine the death data for 2022 and 2023."
