Why Are So Many Pregnant Mothers Dying in D.C.?

Inisfallen:

Are you kidding me?

No. And if there is any systemic racism or sexism, it’s against white men.

Tell me, please, because I want to live there.

Let’s start with downtown Detroit and DC. Just don’t be surprised if people starting at you because you have light skin even though you think you’re defending minorities.

Wow. Just wow. I’d suggest trying for a bit more empathy for the people of colour who are constantly experiencing discrimination from police, work places and many other places rather than this self centred approach.

RE: White men and Asians, there’s definitely a problem in academia admissions. But my original overall point, there aren’t any laws or policies on the books that overtly discriminate.

It’s just really lazy to blame this on racism or sexism just because Black women are featured in video, and that is exactly what is going on. BTW, @pnewton should no one bother watching this video, or do liberals sites get a free pass?

The decisions for these closures were probably financial and had nothing to do with race or gender.

To solve the problem, however, we really need the pro-life private sector to step in.

You may note I was not commenting on this video. So, no free pass. Liberals do the same darn thing. Just watch some of the faux news comedians. Star Wars fans as well do the same sort of self-serving videos, though they know they are just Star Trek universe wannabes.

I wonder how much of our unusually high maternal mortality rate is due to obesity and other conditions that are the result of poor lifestyle choices. The woman in one of those articles was absolutely massive: I would have been more surprised if both mother and child came out unscathed.

The articles I read indicated these hospitals served high risk factor women,
not that the hospitals were causing the risk factors due to malpractice.

About half of all U.S. Women in a given year who have an abortion have had one previously. And multiple abortions are more common among black women than other races according to studies. I’m not saying U.S. culture does not influence poor diet decisions which leads to obesity(which can cause preeclampsia before birth), but postpartum complications like infection,placenta accreta, and hemorrhage are more likely due to uterine adhesions from D&CS including abortion procedures than from being overweight or obese.

One instance in popular culture of a woman having placenta accreta and using a surrogate after a couple of dangerous natural births was Kim Kardashian, a very wealthy woman with access to the best care.

Yeah, let’s take a post seriously that uses “faux news”.
