Summary
Republican-led states with near-total abortion bans are delaying or halting maternal mortality reviews, raising concerns about efforts to conceal rising deaths.
Texas, where maternal deaths rose 56% from 2019 to 2022, refused to review 2022-2023 cases, citing a backlog.
Investigations found multiple preventable deaths tied to abortion bans, such as Porsha Ngumenzi, who died after being denied miscarriage care.
Georgia fired its entire Maternal Mortality Review Committee after leaks about preventable deaths.
Critics argue these actions aim to suppress evidence linking abortion bans to maternal fatalities, delaying accountability for years.
if covid taught us anything, it’s that the easiest way to make a problem “go away” is to stop collecting data about it
