Women giving birth in the United States are more likely to die than police officers are in the line of duty. And unlike police fatalities, which have hit an 80-year low, maternal mortality has more than doubled since the 1980s. That means a woman today is more likely to die in childbirth than her grandmother was. This is in a country that spends more on healthcare than anywhere else on earth.
The United States is the only wealthy nation where this trend is moving in the wrong direction. Every other developed country has continued improving.
We got worse. And according to the CDC, more than 80% of these deaths are preventable. We're not talking about medical mysteries. We're talking about failures in follow-up care, hemorrhage management, and access to treatment that other countries figured out decades ago.
The same men who flooded my comments this week saying women shouldn't vote are the ones who get to decide maternal healthcare policy. Women are dying at rates their grandmothers didn't, from things we know how to prevent, and the people blocking every solution have decided the people dying shouldn't have a political voice. And they're doing all they can to keep it that way.
