Black mothers are at risk as the US maternal mortality rate continues to rise yearly, CDC says

Black mothers die at three to four times the rate of white mothers, which is one of the widest racial disparities in women’s health.

Sigh. It doesn’t matter a black Womans class or education or marital status or health status, the CDC did a study on that. Please read before you speak.

BS I used to go to one of the biggest hospitals outside of Washington DC for my high-risk maternity care. The clinic had 70% black and brown women as patients.

Do you know what a mortality rate is? Just because they were patients means what exactly?

[@guineapigzed]

More propaganda!

[@subicstationditosailor4053]

Could it be genetics? Drug use? Live in boy friends?

[@StocksIn60Seconds]

Probably drugs, probably STDs, maybe obesity, probably financial reasons, probably things they’ll never mention in the news.

More racism. They have five times more kids. Sick of hearing about racism. This is a class problem. Jay z and Beyonce had no issue with top of the line health care.

[@monalisaflower6339]

The number of children doesn't factor into the statics of 243% more likely to die.

[@Voicenreason247]

@@monalisaflower6339 more stressful environment. Lack of proper nutritious food. There are a lot of factors. To say cause of racism is just silly. Are we killing them no. This is class and resources problem. I hope it gets fixed we all deserve good productive live. Stop blaming the white man. This is the government keeping us all down. Don't let them divide and conquer.

Beyoncé had a near death experience giving birth. Black woman are dying. Stop crying and do your research. So many black woman died recently. “Five times more kids” that’s false where your proof? Your sick of hearing about racism when we wouldn’t have it if it weren’t for white people.
