    Exclusive analysis finds the rate of maternal deaths in Texas increased 56% from 2019 to 2022, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period.

    Curious what the percent change is for just states that didn’t implement abortion-restricting measures is…

          Your quote state “compared with just 11% nationwide” that lecture chill me. It would be more honest to state “11% nationwide and it’s worst in Texas with 56%” This inversion is really a way to put that awfull stat under the rug

          People who don’t know about it because it’s not widely reported.

        Texas isn’t a small state, population wise. If the rate rose dramatically (55%) for Texas, and similar rates occurred in other abortion banning states, that would likely account for the 11%.

        Anyway, more to the point than just that, the people who care about that nationwide growth already care and are clamoring about it. They’ve been clamoring about it since Roe v Wade was overturned. The other half of the equation could care less about women, and the rising rate is probably making them smile.
