Black women have a dangerously high rates of type ll diabetes and gestational diabetes, creating life threatening complications for moms and the babies. More research is desperately needed to promote maternal health.
Black women are facing a maternal health crisis. The only way to solve this is to speak the truth and act: This is a public health crisis. Thank you, Reps. Adams and Underwood for fighting to make sure Black women are heard.https://www.bet.com/news/national/2019/04/09/democratic-lawmakers-alma-adams-and-lauren-underwood-form-the-fi.html …

@RepAdams [D-NC-12] &@RepUnderwood [D-IL-4] still have NOT cosponsored#HR40 even though they've been asked repeatedly for their support.#Reparations2020 https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/40/cosponsors …pic.twitter.com/heQdroGyt7

The rate is higher because black women are more likely to smoke crack and drink heavily during pregnancy, it has nothing to do with racism. Asian and Hispanic mothers are just fine. So please stop the lies

Nope. Drug use has been controlled for in multiple studies.

Ok. Let’s speak truths. What is the percentage of “black women” that become pregnant due to unplanned circumstances? When you take into account the % of population and % of unplanned pregnancies that’s why they’re facing a “maternal health crisis”. More exposure.

Nope. That possibility has been studied. The increase in black maternal mortality is independent of planned pregnancy vs unintended and independent of socioeconomic status.
