About this sermon
A recent CDC report reveals the United States maternal death rate spiked during the pandemic hitting Black women especially hard. In the year 2021, more than 1,200 American women died while pregnant or in the month following their pregnancies, which was a 40% increase from the previous year and makes 2021 one of the worst years in U.S. history for maternal mortality rates. Joining us tonight to discuss this is Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of the American Association of Pro-life OB/GYNs. She shares her thoughts on the statistics, why the maternal mortality rates were significantly higher for Black women than White or Hispanic women, what can be done to change these outcomes, and how the United States measures up to other countries’ maternal maternity rates. Dr. Francis offers solutions to improving health care for pregnant women and shares her reaction to the statement in the CDC study advocating for more abortion access.
