The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 700 women in the United States die each year due to complications related to pregnancy and childbirth.

These numbers are troubling as we are because even more acute when you look at the existing racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities.

I hope that we can advance this legislation as well.
