The state has one of the country’s highest maternal mortality rates. Now, three hospitals plan to stop delivering babies, putting some pregnant women at even higher risk.

The state has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country; only three others had higher rates between 2018 and 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Alabama also had the nation’s third-highest infant mortality rate in 2021, the latest data available.
This is gonna be cold and heartless, but I don’t care about mothers who voted for politicians who restricted healthcare for pregnant women. If they die, that’s what they asked for.
I do care about the innocent babies born in that hellhole state. They didn’t ask for a shit government and shit parents. Sucks to be an American right now. Eff.
