“Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called out the problem of the disproportionately high rate of maternal mortality for black women in the United States and laid out a plan to address it Wednesday at a Houston forum for presidential candidates.
“Measure the values that a country has by how it treats its mamas and its babies. And the United States… has profoundly failed on this front,” Warren said at the forum, organized by She the People, a national network of women of color in politics. “We have failed our mamas; we have failed our babies.”
The U.S. has the worst maternal mortality rate among all developed countries, and though the rate has been falling in other nations, it has been rising in the U.S. in recent years.
Warren called out the “specific problem” facing women of color: The risk of pregnancy-related deaths for black women is three to four times higher than for white women, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
