We should not be imparting our own life choices on everyone else.

President Trump has tweeted that nobody disobeys my orders, and, however, the report documents multiple instances where subordinates did the opposite.

Georgia's reported rate is also on the rise, and higher than the national average.

If more than half of the women are still being denied the care that they're entitled to under the law, then I imagine that, you know, the enforcement efforts are still not up to the levels that they should be.

If the mator---mortality rates here in the United States is among the highest in the developed world, then definitely we are not doing enough.

I'm thankful for my colleagues, Representative Adams and Representative Underwood, for leading the Black Maternal Health Caucus, so that we can focus on solving this growing problem.

It's maternal health. As you may know, the maternal mortality rate in the United States is among the highest in the developed world, and it continues to rise.

I just want to thank each of you for coming and sharing your testimony with us today.
