“In 2021, the maternal mortality rate for non-Hispanic Black (subsequently, Black) women was 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, 2.6 times the rate for non-Hispanic White (subsequently, White) women (26.6) (Figure 1 and Table). Rates for Black women were significantly higher than rates for White and Hispanic women.”
1 in 1,430.62 for black women. This is why abortion rights are so important in the US.
Jesus Christ, 1 in 3000? That’s terrifying.
Oh, it gets WORSE:

Fucking hell. That’s just awful.
Agreed on abortion rights, they need to get their finger out and pass nationwide law that the states can’t overrule.
